Focused Topic Networks
On behalf of its Member Societies and Patient Advocacy Groups, the European Cancer Organisation convenes interested stakeholders around nine important topics.
Led by co-chairs from our Member Societies, these Networks have been established to facilitate consensus and joint projects in our Strategy 2024-2027. The programme of the European Cancer Summit is also based on these nine topics.
