INTERACT-EUROPE Showcase Event

Pioneering the Future of Inter-Specialty Cancer Education: Breaking down barriers and uniting expertise.

On 17 November, the day after the European Cancer Summit 2023, the event brought together leading oncology education experts from across Europe, and many others, to consider ground-breaking new methods and tools for improving inter-specialty cancer training.

The INTERACT-EUROPE project, a flagship element of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, has developed an innovative new approach to supporting new levels of cooperation between professions involved in cancer care by creating a first-of-its-kind inter-speciality cancer training curriculum.

Tested by a pioneer cohort, and with technology-enhanced features, the showcase event looked to the future as ambitions increased to embrace more than 100 cancer centres in 15 or more countries to the programme by 2027.

European Cancer Summit

Accelerating Momentum: A manifesto to 2030

This Summit is special, and it's reflected in the slogan.

'Accelerating Momentum' highlights our impatience. The EU's Beating Cancer Plan is the opportunity of a lifetime. We're already implementing a variety of new projects to better care for cancer patients and survivors.  But, together, we need to do much more - and much more quickly. The current EU Parliament comes to an end next year.

'A manifesto... ' refers to a detailed list of cancer care priorities and proposals compiled by the European Cancer Organisation from input received from its member societies and patient groups. The manifesto has been unveiled at the Summit, and we need to ensure every candidate standing in next year's European Parliamentary elections subscribes to this roadmap.

'...to 2030'... We cannot afford to wait. Cancer doesn't. We need to set clear deadlines for tangible progress.

If ever there was a time and a place to rally the European cancer community – this is it!

Community 365 Roundtable on Genomic Tumour Testing: Delivering Precision Goals in European Oncology

On Tuesday 3 October at 14:30 - 17:00 CEST, the European Cancer Organisation will hold the third Community 365 Roundtable event of 2023, on the subject of delivering Precision Goals in European Oncology.

Genomic tumour testing plays a crucial role in precision medicine and personalised cancer treatment. By understanding the genetic makeup of a tumor, healthcare providers can tailor treatment strategies to individual patients, leading to improved outcomes. However, there are several challenges in implementing genomic tumour testing effectively, and this roundtable aims to address those challenges and discuss the way forward.
