Learning & Understanding to help the patients

[MarjFaith]

Eurpean Society for Medical Oncology  this link is worth exploring to see how much work goes into learning, sharing and understanding cancer....

The mission statements and I quote are to:

•To improve the quality of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, supportive and palliative care, as well as the follow-up of patients with malignant disorders

•To advance the art, science, recognition, and practice of oncology

•To disseminate knowledge in oncology to cancer patients and the public

•To educate and train persons involved in clinical cancer care and research

•To promote education in oncology in order to ensure a high standard of qualification of medical oncologists within the multidisciplinary team

•To facilitate equal access to optimal cancer care to all cancer patients

•To maintain liaisons with other oncology specialties, cancer leagues, universities, patient groups and, where appropriate, the pharmaceutical industry

Thank goodness for these teams of professionals that are working to help all those diagnosed with cancer!
