Community 365 Roundtable: Metastatic Cancer - Driving Enhanced Policy Response
Despite progress in treatment, people living with metastatic cancer still face significant unmet needs, not only in meeting the high burden of the disease, but also the psycho-social, legal and every day challenges that are encompassed in daily life with metastatic cancer.
That is why the year’s first ECO Community 365 Roundtable is focused on considering what policy routes forward can be promoted to improve the lives of those living with advanced cancer.
This multi-stakeholder event will synthesise the latest evidence, perspectives and recommendations related to chosen themes including:
- Meeting the needs of cancer patients experiencing metastasis to the brain;
- communicating to patients and their families and caregivers about a metastatic diagnosis; and,
- how to better address the social and legal implications of metastatic cancer
The event will be co-chaired by
- Fatima Cardoso, President ABC Global Alliance
- Kathy Oliver, Chair and Co-Director, International Brain Tumour Alliance and Member of the Patient Advisory Committee, European Cancer Organisation
We invite you to join the conversation, contribute your views and take inspiration from expert speakers from across Europe and beyond.
