1. About ECCO2017 European Cancer Congress
From Evidence to Practice in Multidisciplinary Cancer Care
ECCO2017 is a unique, clinically oriented, multidisciplinary annual Congress with a strong
educational focus for practicing oncologists and other health care professionals who need to
be updated on the relevant clinical information which will impact on their daily practice.
Our innovative, multidisciplinary scientific programme will focus on:
Today’s innovations – how do we integrate them into patient care?
The innovations of yesterday – how did they work in the real world?
How do we prioritise and pay for the most effective approaches?
How do we organise cancer care delivery amid rapidly increasing complexity?
The programme is built around four key pillars:
PILLAR 1: Multidisciplinarity
Presenting the new practice changing phase III trials (in any tumour type). ECCO2017 will
also put into a multidisciplinary perspective practice changing trials that were presented in
monodisciplinary conferences in 2016.
PILLAR 2: Outcome Research
Presenting and reviewing real world data to observe how recent implementation of new
treatments or diagnostic modalities fared in the clinic. Emphasis will be placed on population
registries, molecular epidemiology, elderly patients and co-morbidity as well as external
validity of clinical trials.
PILLAR 3: Health Economics of Cancer Care
Discussing the cost effectiveness of the molecular characterisation of cancer, new cancer
therapies and how to prioritise and integrate these advances.
PILLAR 4: Organisation of Cancer Care Delivery
Discussing how the patient will be optimally guided in the future through their diagnosis,
treatment, supportive and palliative care, given the ageing population, oncology workforce
shortage, increased number of survivors and the impact of ehealth (healthcare practice
supported by electronic processes and communication such as electronic health records,
telemedicine, clinical decision support etc).
