Juliette Mérian, Global Patient Affairs Director Oncology at Servier, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Back from ESMO GI 2026 and inspired by the 11th DiCE Masterclass in Munich!
Over few days, patient advocates, healthcare professionals, researchers and industry partners came together to discuss some of the most important topics shaping the future of digestive cancer care:
- The rise of early-onset digestive cancers
- The growing evidence supporting physical activity throughout the cancer journey
- The opportunities and challenges of AI-powered tools
- Patient organisation-led initiatives driving navigation, education, and access to care across Europe
- The importance of turning patient experiences into meaningful research, advocacy and policy action
Thank you to Digestive Cancers Europe for creating such a valuable space for learning, collaboration and patient empowerment. The Masterclass once again demonstrated the essential role patient organisations play in shaping research, healthcare and advocacy.
Together, we move from awareness to action.”
