Event Description
On behalf of MSD Europe, in collaboration with Lung Cancer Europe and the European Cancer Patients Coalition, we cordially invite you to participate to the forthcoming European Cancer Forum - Changing the future of cancer in Europe – 4 December 2018 | Solvay Library | Brussels
Join us to gain insightful and innovative ideas for improving cancer care in Europe. We will bring together key decision makers, scientific leaders, patient groups, industry partners all with a shared goal of improving outcomes for cancer patients.
One of the highlights of the event will be the presentation of the new ground-breaking benchmark study on European lung cancer policy in 13 European countries, carried out by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
Themes of the event being discussed over the course of the day by high-level speakers will include:
- How to improve outcomes for lung cancer patients?
- How to enable access to innovation within financially sustainable healthcare systems?
- How to address survivorship challenges?
Have a look at the programme for more details.
Due to a limited number of seats we encourage you to reserve yours soon.
