SIOPE – MAC Launch: European Cancer Plan for Children and Adolescents
Wednesday 18 November 2015 (12:00 – 14:30) European Parliament, Brussels, Belgium
SIOPE is delighted to join efforts with the Members of the European Parliament Against Cancer (MAC) to unveil the multi-stakeholder agreed next steps in our common battle against paediatric malignancies – the SIOPE European Cancer Plan for Children and Adolescents.

We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
Thank you for your support.
