Recognition of Medical Oncology as an independent specialty
ESMO works actively for the recognition of medical oncology as an independent medical specialty at the EU level:
- To assure all cancer patients have access to optimal treatment and care
- Because high-level qualification is a way to ensure high-quality treatment
- To assure the recognition of high professional qualification
- To help to spread and share knowledge, experience, and expertise
ESMO promotes the international recognition and definition of medical oncologists as those who are trained in the management of cancer patients and deliver cancer therapies.
Medical oncologists work as part of the integrated, multidisciplinary team and play a pivotal role in collaborating with primary care, clinical oncologists, and other medical and surgical specialists in the cancer center and unit.
