ENCCA Interview with Riccardo Haupt and Lars Hjorth on how to improve the lives of long-term survivors

  • Riccardo Haupt and Lars Hjorth: Improving the lives of long-term survivors Enhancing quality-of-life of the increasing number of survivors of childhood and
    adolescent cancer is one of the main goals of ENCCA and a related EU-funded
    project, PanCareSurFup. A particular advantage of both ENCCA and
    PanCareSurFup is that as rare cancers are the focus, the added-value of networking and sharing information and resources is a given. Many of the partners and experts are already work together and this ensures greater efficiency and success for these two interlinked projects. However, many of the new features of both projects have just started, such as the ‘survivorship passport’ and sustaining these initiatives in the long-term is a must.
    The project Oncovideos – Developing Vocational Skills in Oncology through e-Learning, in coordination with ECCO, is a precious cross-discipline online educational resource for European young oncologists looking for a practice oriented online training.
