SIOPE collaborates with ESMO E-Learning 'Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults'

16/06/2014

Adolescents and young adults with cancer are at the cross-roads between adult and paediatric oncology: not only the interface between adult and children’s services is different in different healthcare systems, but this unique category has distinct epidemiological, biological and clinical characteristics, as well as special medical and psychosocial needs that are often unmet.

This is why a new E-Learning module on 'Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults' - fruit of a new ESMO-SIOPE collaboration - has been recently launched on 'OncologyPro', an educational online platform provided by ESMO. The aim of this new online module is to further improve the educational standards for medical professionals involved in the care of adolescents and young adults with cancer in Europe.
