The overall study portfolio is conducted within a national, interdisciplinary collaboration involving physicians, nurses, and health economists across regions and hematology departments in Denmark.
Treat@Home originates from the National Interdisciplinary Hematology Research Network (NIHR-DK) under the Danish Comprehensive Cancer Center and is linked to the Danish Multidisciplinary Cancer Groups through the participating clinicians. The research program is anchored at the Department of Hematology, Zealand University Hospital, while the clinical studies are carried out at hematology departments nationwide.
International collaboration
We are in the process of developing and strengthening our international collaborations in home-based cancer care, with a particular focus on the Treat@Home program and the implementation of home-based treatment pathways. As part of this effort, we have established a dialogue with the Canadian Association of Provincial Cancer Agencies (CAPCA), which has expressed substantial interest in the Danish experience with the initiation and implementation of home-based treatment.
In parallel, we are working to establish an international research consortium on home-based treatment for patients with multiple myeloma, involving collaborators from Australia, the United Kingdom, and India. A corresponding international research initiative focusing on patients with AML is planned.
Within these international research groups, an initial key objective will be the development of joint scientific publications addressing experiences with the implementation of home-based treatment across different healthcare systems and countries.
Department of Regional Health Research and University of Southern Denmark
IRS can be seen as a network consisting of nearly 300 researchers in over 50 research units, each with its own research leader. The research units are anchored at 12 hospitals in the Region Zealand, Region of Southern Denmark, and Capital Region of Denmark.
