This World Cancer Day, ESMO is proud to stand with the global community in our shared commitment to offering the best care to people with cancer.
ESMO continues to support World Cancer Day by joining the new, three-year #UnitedByUnique campaign, which emphasises a people-centred approach to cancer care, recognising that everyone’s experience with cancer is unique.
“Remarkable advancements in science and research have made it possible for patients to access more treatment options and receive better care. However, nearly 10 million patients still die each year: We are not there yet! More research and greater efforts are urgently needed.”
Fabrice André, ESMO President
