Every year around 300,000 EU citizens receive a diagnosis for a haematalogical malignancy, including leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma. Each cancer type places its own unique demands on health systems and how they can best prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat these diseases.
To this end, the European Cancer Organisation is supporting the EU-funded research project SANGUINE to investigate novel approaches to early detection of these blood cancers. It is also bringing together its member societies, patient organisations and other entities to identify precisely what is needed for better blood cancer treatment.
We invite all interested stakeholders in Europe and around the world to join us we explore the latest developments in these fields and what they may mean for better blood cancer care.
Don't not miss out on this opportunity. Register now!

A Stakeholder Forum for the TRANSiTION Project
Background
Despite digital health's potential, challenges persist in cancer care, including a scarcity of workforce training on digital skills and limited digital health literacy.
Digital literacy among healthcare professionals, non-clinical professionals (i.e. health managers) and cancer patients is crucial for the successful digital solutions uptake and integration across the cancer continuum hence capitalizing on its full potential. Education and training in digital health are identified as top priorities for developing the future healthcare workforce (i.e. healthcare professionals and non-clinical professionals), improving the quality of care and quality of care experience and enabling patient access to improved healthcare services.

A landmark piece of European Union legislation to achieve greater cooperation between countries on Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is due to come into force in January 2025, with cancer medicines among the first group of therapies in its focus. Is the EU ready for Joint Clinical Assessments? Have stakeholder views been taken account of? Is there still time to address any remaining concerns? Register and participate in the roundtable to be a part of the conversation.
The Roundtable will be co-chaired by Natacha Bolaños, Regional Manager for Europe, Lymphoma Coalition and Eric Van Cutsem, Board Member of the European Cancer Organisation, Head of Digestive Oncology at the University Hospitals Gasthuisberg & KULeuven.
