SF-MOCAE · Federative Structure for Cyto-Molecular Oncogenetics

The SF-MOCAE (French Society for Oncogenetics of Cancer and Ethical Malformations) brings together in a single location within the Biology and Research building all oncogenetic activities conducted at Caen Normandy University Hospital. These activities enable the characterization of cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities in solid tumors and hematological malignancies, activities previously distributed among the Hematology Laboratory, the Department of Pathology and Cytology, and the Genetics Department. The SF-MOCAE is an independent structure integrated with existing hospital platforms and departments.

This SF-MOCAE optimizes the implementation and development of oncogenetic activities while preserving the specificities of the disciplines and guarantees better visibility of these activities and actions carried out in this context by the Caen Normandy University Hospital through the pooling of human and technical resources to the extent possible.

The SF-MOCAE works closely with the Cancer Federation to promote projects adopted by the federation and to foster the development of cancer at the University Hospital and in the region in all its dimensions of care, research and teaching.

Missions

To develop and promote the expertise of the Caen Normandy University Hospital on solid tumors and malignant hematological diseases.
Contributing to the structuring of the patient pathway in oncology within the University Hospital:
- through its ability to respond quickly and appropriately/specifically to questions posed by clinicians/pathologists via molecular and diagnostic multidisciplinary team meetings
- through its capacity to innovate: implementing new analyses, playing a role in clinical research, and contributing to the characterization of tumors that are still poorly understood
Ensure the continuity of the validation of examinations carried out within the SF-MOCAE.

Structuring the research activities carried out at the Caen Normandy University Hospital in oncogenetics:
Through the valorization of biological data generated on the SF-MOCAE, and the development of new themes and projects
by fostering collaborations with research teams
To promote the development of projects originating from the University Hospital and the genomics platform
Participating in the training of students (interns, M1, M2, doctoral students) who will be working in oncogenetics
