ECCO 13 - One voice, one vision needed to overcome cancer in Europe

he initial feeling of shock and fear subsides, you have this urgent desire to find out all you can about your condition. You become suddenly aware of your own mortality and knowing that your survival chances can potentially depend upon whether or not your local authorities can afford it is simply not good enough. It is becoming patently obvious that if something is not done about it soon, in the future your survival outlook will be largely determined not only by GDP but by your personal wealth in the event that local authorities are unable to afford the required infrastructure and access to treatment, it is up to the individual to find the money. Considering that Europe includes some of the wealthiest and leading nations in the world this is deeply worrying."

Key issues for healthcare professionals

Physicians place a similar importance upon access to information, recognising the need for regular updates in cancer treatment care and management. This is generally available throughout Europe through evidence-based medicine, journals, meetings and continuing professional development. However, physicians' expectations also include the facilities with which to deliver optimal cancer care, which are currently not available Europe-wide. Professionals expect to be able to communicate appropriately both with each other and their patients. Doctor-patient communication, however, is challenged both by inappropriate environments and increasing time pressures for consultation discussion. In addition, the possible future shortage of oncologists will make things even more complex.

This feeling was re-iterated at ECCO 13 by Professor Mike Richards, National Cancer Director at St Thomas's Hospital, UK who said, "Assigning priorities to the delivery of medical care in general and, given the rapidity of scientific advances, cancer care in particular, is an enormous challenge."

In the fight for better access to quality care, some of the improvements that he
