Oncology
Despite the incredible work of the oncology community across Europe, cancer remains the second leading cause of premature death in Europe.[1][2] We fiercely believe cancer is a challenge we can collectively overcome, and our ultimate aim is to make cancer an interceptable, even curable, or chronic disease. We know that receiving a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming and sparks fear. We are striving to change this, so that one day the words “you have cancer” will be less terrifying for patients to hear and less distressing for healthcare professionals to say and act upon.
