Core offering

FFCD is a French-speaking professional medical federation that operates at the intersection of clinical research coordination and continuing medical education in digestive oncology. It sells annual and biennial memberships to medical specialists, runs an annual intensive autumn training course (Cours intensif d'automne) in Poitiers, and manages patient-facing transparency tools including a clinical trial results portal and a catalog of translational research projects.

Product overview

FFCD operates as a federation providing medical education, clinical research coordination, and member services in digestive oncology. The core offerings include the annual Cours intensif d'automne training program for medical specialists, annual/biennial membership with optional HGOD publication access, and patient-facing transparency tools including an online results portal and research project catalog. These products serve both healthcare professionals seeking continuing education and research participation, and clinical trial participants seeking access to study results and information about data reuse.

Broad incumbents

• ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology): Largest global professional oncology society based in the US. While operating across all oncology subspecialties globally and not directly competing for French trials, ASCO is the international reference model for FFCD's combination of membership, journals, CME, and clinical guidelines in oncology.
• UNICANCER: Federation of French Comprehensive Cancer Centers (CLCCs) coordinating oncology research and care across 18+ centers. UNICANCER is much larger in scope and resources than FFCD but operates in the same French oncology research ecosystem, with overlapping sponsor relationships and clinical trial activity.
• ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology): Leading European professional society for medical oncology. ESMO represents a much broader geographic and specialty scope than FFCD but targets the same medical oncologists with membership, training, and clinical guideline programs, including in gastrointestinal cancers.
• SNFGE (Société Nationale Française de Gastro-Entérologie): French national society of gastroenterology representing digestive disease specialists. While broader than FFCD's oncology focus, SNFGE shares the same professional federation model, membership structure, and CME delivery approach for the same specialist audience in France.

Direct peers

• AFSOS (Association Francophone pour les Soins Oncologiques de Support): French-speaking professional association in supportive oncology care. Operates with a similar nonprofit federation model to FFCD, offering membership, training events, and clinical research coordination across French-speaking oncology professionals.
• IFM (Intergroupe Francophone du Myélome): French-speaking cooperative group focused on myeloma clinical research. Operates under the same federation, sponsor, and regulatory model as FFCD, with comparable structure of multi-center clinical trials, member physicians, and CME activities in oncology.
• EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer): Pan-European cooperative group conducting clinical trials in oncology. EORTC operates at a larger geographic scale than FFCD but uses the same nonprofit federation model to coordinate multi-center oncology trials, including in gastrointestinal cancers where FFCD is active.
• GERCOR: French multi-disciplinary cooperative group running clinical trials in oncology. Like FFCD, GERCOR is a nonprofit federation that designs and coordinates independent clinical trials across French-speaking cancer centers, with overlapping physician membership and similar revenue models from training and sponsorships.
• ARCAGY-GINECO: French cooperative group dedicated to gynecological oncology research and clinical trials. Operates under the same French biomedical research framework (loi Jardé, CPP) as FFCD, with a comparable federation model connecting specialists for sponsored and academic trials.

Regional players

• FFGE (Fédération Française de Gastro-Entérologie): French gastroenterology federation. Similar nonprofit federation model to FFCD but focused more broadly on gastroenterology rather than the digestive oncology niche. Some member overlap exists where gastroenterologists participate in digestive oncology research.
