ECCO Mission 

The European CanCer Organisation exists to

• Uphold the right of all European cancer patients to the best possible treatment and care
• Promote interaction between all organisations involved in cancer research, education, treatment and care at the European level.
• Provide the unifying voice of European Societies representing professionals in oncology and proactively engage with policy makers in driving oncopolicy in Europe.

The background of ECCO

In the early 1980s, a few visionaries laid the foundations of the Federation of European Cancer Societies (FECS) at a time when multidisciplinarity in cancer care was a relatively new concept. 25 years later, multidisciplinarity is accepted everywhere as being the best way to treat cancer.
