10 jaar Kankercentrum: Challenges for cancer policies for the next decade: prevent, cure, care and pay
Het Kankercentrum viert zijn 10-jarig bestaan in 2019. Bij deze gelegenheid willen we u uitnodigen om samen te reflecteren over de toekomst, wat er moet gebeuren en hoe we dit allemaal samen kunnen bereiken. De voertaal tijdens dit evenement is Engels. Voor meer informatie kan u terecht op onze Engelstalige pagina.
We are very honored to welcome our Minister of Health and Social affairs, Maggie De Block to set the stage of the day.
Key players in the cancer will share with us their reflections on the past evolutions, positive evolutions and formulate critical views on missed opportunities or failed strategies and their ideas and hopes for future actions. They will cover the complete cancer landscape from prevention and early detection to survivorship including research, economics and innovation as key pillars in a sustainable and society-driven cancer policy.
