Hosted by MEP Lieve Wierinck - European Parliament policy forum on Radiotherapy: seizing the opportunity in cancer care

“The Marie Curie Legacy Campaign, pioneered by the ESTRO Cancer Foundation (ECF) and ESTRO, is a global initiative to raise awareness of the benefits of radiotherapy and optimise the provision of radiotherapy in Europe and beyond.
In November 2018, launched a white paper calling upon policymakers to help close the gap in utilisation of radiotherapy across Europe, entitled “Radiotherapy: seizing the opportunity in cancer care”.

On behalf of the radiotherapy community, the Marie Curie Legacy Campaign hosted a policy forum to present a five-point plan to help close the gap in availability and utilisation of radiotherapy across Europe, and outline activities underpinning the ESTRO vision.
This event was kindly hosted by Lieve Wierinck MEP on 31st of January 2019 at the European Parliament. Nicole Denjoy, COCIR Secretary General, representing industry, sat on the panel that discussed “How can different stakeholders work together to address current gaps in access to radiotherapy across Europe?”.
