In early March, the Living Beyond Cancer: survivorship and late-effects course was held online, organized jointly by PanCare, CCI-Europe, SIOPE, and our Young SIOPE Group. The 2-day course brought together healthcare professionals, patient/parent representatives, and paediatric cancer survivors. It was attended by 40 enthusiastic participants from diverse countries, facilitating discussions on survivorship challenges. The interactive format included live discussions, quick questions, and roundtables, fostering multidisciplinary dialogue and addressing crucial care needs across Europe.
