European Cancer Congress (ECCO) 2015

European Cancer Congress is back! Our renowned biennial series of multidisciplinary European Cancer Congresses are recognised as the premier cancer meetings in Europe. The 18th ECCO – 40th ESMO European Cancer Congress, Vienna, 25 - 29 September 2015, will combine the united efforts of all partner organisations to continue positioning multidisciplinarity as the way forward for improving the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of cancer patients - placing the patient at the heart of all our efforts and discussions. Through its 24 Member Societies - representing over 60 000 professionals - ECCO is the only multidisciplinary organisation that connects and responds to all stakeholders in oncology Europe-wide. ECCO is a not-for-profit federation that exists to uphold the right of all European cancer patients to the best possible treatment and care, promoting interaction between all organisations involved in cancer at European level. It does this by creating awareness of patients’ needs and wishes, encouraging progressive thinking in cancer policy, training and education and promoting European cancer research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care through the organisation of international multidisciplinary meetings.
