ECPC Working Group on Paediatric Oncology
Modern paediatric oncology demands multidisciplinary, well planned and coordinated patient care. Multidisciplinary care is possible when multidisciplinary teams are formed at paediatric oncology clinics and wards. There are some countries in EU where these teams function and there are countries where such care is not available due to a multitude of socio-economic, technical or educational reasons. In order to define these problems and to propose possible solutions ECPC has created a Working Group on Paediatric Oncology. This Group is multidisciplinary and comprises healthcare professionals, parents and caregivers from Eastern, Middle and Southern European countries. All those involved have a common goal: to make sure the implementation of modern “European Standards of care for Children with Cancer” is not limited only to several countries, but is provided and applied to each and every child in Europe.
