ESMO Workshop: Cancer Patient Advocacy Networks Driving Research

WCD-hands

On World Cancer Day 2016, ESMO is putting cancer patients centre stage by organising a workshop dedicated to exploring ways that advocacy networks can drive research. The workshop will take place in Brussels 5-7 February.

“Patients are the largest under-used resource of our health systems,” said Dr Bettina Ryll, Sweden, Chair of the ESMO Patient Advocates Working Group. “Oncologists and other professionals are constantly pushing the edge of science to find new treatment options. Patients must also be involved every step of the way. This workshop will give participants new insights and tools to help turn information into action.“
