ARSER

The Association for Research on the After-effects of Radiotherapy (ARSER) is a patient association dedicated to improving survival prospects and reducing suffering among people affected by the late effects of radiotherapy. It supports research into these effects and raises funds to help advance that work. ARSER also shares information about research developments with patients and healthcare professionals, helping long-term cancer survivors and clinicians better understand symptoms that may be linked to earlier radiotherapy.

The association’s work brings together patient perspectives and scientific expertise. Its research efforts have involved radiotherapist Dr. Sylvie Delanian, researcher Jean-Louis Lefaix and neurologist Dr. Pierre-François Pradat, with a focus on understanding how radiation-related damage develops and finding ways to reduce its effects. ARSER provides educational resources on radiotherapy after-effects, disability, patient experiences and related news through its website, forums, publications and partner directory. Visitors can also find information about the association, contact its team, join or renew membership, and make donations to support its mission.
