The Roundtable will be co-chaired by Giuseppe Curigliano, President, European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists; and Natacha Bolaños, Regional Manager for Europe, Lymphoma Coalition.

9 July 2024, Brussels: Responding to the horrific scenes from the Russian missile strike yesterday on Kyiv's Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital, the European Cancer Organisation has issued the following statement:
