In 1997 several physicians with remarkable experience in the clinical and research area were gathered with the aim to create a cooperative in oncology research. Many advantages were considered to put an effort into cooperation and develop basic and clinical research in the oncology field. Whether it was private or public groups, there was vast experience in the clinical research area, which made it easy to create a national network of researchers for international and national multicenter trials. The coordination of individual efforts to strengthen their expertise was necessary. From there, the initiative to build a corporation to promote cooperation between healthcare centers and oncology research was borned.

Increase the oncology level of Works within the country. Promote and develop relations with and within the healthcare centers and oncology research (private or public) and the Ministry of Health and universities.
