The 2011 European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congress
Building on the great successes of our Congresses past, as of this year we are bringing together the 16th ECCO, 36th ESMO, 30th ESTRO Congresses to form the European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congresses, organised in partnership with the essential contribution of all ECCO’s other Founding Members - ESSO, EACR, EONS and SIOPE. Further, as the Congress tagline ‘Integrating basic & translational science, surgery, radiotherapy, medical oncology & care’ suggests, the uniqueness of our Congresses lies in the multidisciplinary and multi-professional scope, appeal and draw.
The European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congresses are consequently the only multidisciplinary and multi-professional educational opportunity in oncology to take place in Europe – a fact that underpins the relevance, role and participation of each and every specialty in oncology.
EUROPEAN CANCER CONTROL SUMMIT
EUROCOURSE, an EU-funded Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) project, has been a welcome boost for European population-based cancer registries and their programme owners since 2009, benefitting both current and future cancer patients.
The domains dealt with in this 3-year project have been wide-ranging: issues such as confidentiality, the dissemination of best practise, improving collaboration through ERA networks, biobanking in translational research and support for European comparative studies and mass screening programmes all aim to improve and progress registry coverage in Europe.
