ECCO 2017
European Cancer Congress: From Evidence to Practice in
Multidisciplinary Cancer Care
27-30 January 2017
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
ECCO2017 is the multidisciplinary evidence based meeting for all tumour types, addressing all disciplines in
oncology and related healthcare professionals. ECCO2017 will have direct impact on daily clinical practice.
Focusing on Phase III practice changing data, which will be critically reviewed by expert panels, the congress
will thus creat a perspective for a multidisciplinary audience. Leading oncologists will address the value of these
practice changing treatments by reviewing their clinical benefits and costs. Experts, patient advocates and the
audience will determine whether the data is truly practice changing. The congress gives centre stage to real
world data which impacts treatment and care. There are discrepancies between what happens in real life and in
a clinical trial setting.
With focus on clinical practice, delegates will gain concrete, up-to-date knowledge through multidisciplinary
tumour boards, encouraging delegates to participate in identifying practice-changing developments.
The Educational Committee have prepared a comprehensive educational programme from using evidence-based
information to make informed decisions for our patients, to understanding health economics and outcome re-
search. There will be a major focus on immunotherapy and personalised medicine.
