cartell MaratóIn the 2004 Marató, which was dedicated to cancer, 260 projects were presented and these were assessed by 169 scientists specialising in these diseases, according to their quality, methodology and relevance. This assessment was managed by the Catalan Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Research, of the Catalan Ministry of Health.
