The European Cancer Congress (ECC) 2015

ECC2015 is the largest European multidisciplinary oncology platform for presenting ground-breaking data to a global audience this year.The European Cancer Congress is now giving fresh impetus to its unique philosophy of collaborative innovation to improve outcomes and find new solutions to pressing issues.

Topics of the greatest interest to a multidisciplinary audience will be presented by the very experts who will implement them. There are multidisciplinary tumour board sessions with a clinical orientation supported by case presentations. These sessions emulate multidisciplinary teams working in the real world and provide participants with concrete insights for immediate practical application. The scientific symposia will focus on the new developments in research and treatment that will impact the future of cancer diagnosis and care. ECC2015 will expand the much needed dialogue between basic and clinical researchers as well as the one between pathologists, molecular imaging specialists and clinicians whenever possible. The educational symposia and teaching lectures will provide state-of-the-art training in the most relevant topics in oncology at this time. We have designed more integrated sessions bringing about dialogue and discussion in overlapping areas of scientific research. The Oxford style debates are designed to shed light on the controversial topics impacting an oncologist’s practice today.

The ECC programme also includes a track dedicated to public policy in cancer control. The Oncopolicy Forum harnesses the expertise and experience of the entire oncology community to bridge the gap between science and policy, and maximize the potential for achieving positive policy development with patient interests at the core.
