2nd Synergies Forum Marks Milestone for Pediatric and Young Adult Cancer Advocacy in Europe – ELLOK

Hellenic Cancer Federation – ELLOK shared on LinkedIn:

“At the 2nd Synergies Forum on Cancer, the newly established working group on cancer in children, adolescents, and young adults, CAYASELLOK, hosted an insightful discussion with stakeholders from across Europe, on the need to harmonize oncology care for children, adolescents and young people in Europe.

This panel, under the excellent moderation of Menia Koukougianni, Co-Founder of the NGO Karkinaki and Coordinator of CAYAS, officially opened the public dialogue on this unique group of oncology patients.

A heartfelt thank you to Samira Essiaf, CEO of SIOPE (SIOP Europe), Katie Rizvi, Co-founder and Executive Director of Youth Cancer Europe (YCE), Gevorg Tamamyan, Editor-in-Chief of OncoDaily, Chair and Professor, Department of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology, YSMU, CEO of the Immune Oncology Research Institute, President of SIOP Asia, President of the POEM Group, Emmanouel Papasavas, President of the ‘Marianna V. Vardinoyannis – ELPIDA’ Children’s Oncology Hospital and Maria Pefkianaki Ophthalmologist, Director of the Pediatric and Adult Ocular Oncology Center.

CAYASELLOK aims to highlight both the challenges and developments related to this special group of cancer patients and to advocate for policy changes in healthcare that affect cancer patients and their families. Its primary goal is to ensure that cancer in children, adolescents and young adults becomes a priority in the National Cancer Plan currently being developed in our country.”
