EUROPEAN CANCER CONTROL SUMMIT ON THE ROLE OF CANCER REGISTRIES
Their unique and diverse role in supporting cancer prevention and management in the EU
23-24 November 2011 Renaissance Hotel, Brussels, Belgium
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.
ECCO – the European CanCer Organisation, is delighted to organise this European Cancer Control Summit on 23-24 November in Brussels, together with the Executive Board of Eurocourse, the Steering Committee of the European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR) and the InternationaI Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC).
Cancer registry funding organisations, epidemiological and clinical researchers, programme owners and managers will join policy-makers and patient advocates to discuss the value of high-quality information on cancer in Europe, particularly in terms of the development, analysis, optimal use and exchange of European cancer registry data at this high-level meeting. We warmly welcome you to join this ‘invitation only’ oncopolicy event, which will outline the need for more harmonisation and intensive use of comprehensive data and research to ensure better future cancer control and thus alleviate the burden of cancer across the EU.
