SIOP Europe, the European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Today at the 11th Annual World Cancer Series Europe by The Economist, SIOP Europe was proud to be represented by Prof. Gilles Vassal in the panel discussion “Faster, Fairer Access to New Cancer Medicines.” The session explored how Europe can accelerate equitable access to innovative cancer treatments, address reimbursement and HTA challenges, and ensure that patients benefit from scientific progress without unnecessary delays.
Representing the paediatric oncology community, Prof. Vassal highlighted the importance of ensuring that children and adolescents with cancer are not left behind in discussions on access to innovation. His longstanding work in advancing access to new medicines for young patients reflects SIOPE’s commitment to reducing inequalities in cancer care across Europe.
Thank you to the organisers, fellow panellists and participants for a rich and forward-looking discussion. Meaningful collaboration between policymakers, healthcare professionals, patients, regulators and industry remains essential to achieving faster and fairer access to life-saving cancer medicines for all.”
