The European Cancer Rehabilitation and Survivorship Symposium (ECRS) 2024
ECRS is an Acta Oncologica Symposium and we are grateful to Acta Oncologica for supporting the 7th ECRS in 2024.
This will be the seventh time we organize this Acta Oncologica Symposium for clinicians, researchers, and people employed in the health administration on all levels in our European societies and abroad.
We are excited to invite you to join us in Copenhagen for our conference, which we have decided to organize as a physical symposium. We have a hunger for seeing each other again following the pandemic, to restore scientific communication in person and to talk and exchange our experiences from the last years.
ECRS 2024 hopefully attracts a diverse group of participants, working with cancer reabilitation and survivorship – no matter if you work in the local community, the hospital sector, administration, advocacy or research. The degree of self-participation, decision sharing, and caretaking is rising concurrently during but also after treatment, spilling into after-care and rehabilitation.
How can we address the challenges of the increasing incidence of late effects in our population of cancer survivors in which every second cancer patient already had another chronic dissease at diagnosis?
The XIXth Acta Oncoogica Symposium is our way to become updated by top international scientists in our field but also an excellent opportunity for live, real, person-to-person communication with colleagues. Take your time, listen, make notes, discuss and reflect.
Target audience
The ECRS is for clinicians, researchers, and health administrators on all levels across Europe and beyond. We believe in the exchange of ideas and concerns at a meeting where we are all participating as physically present persons.
ECRS is your way to become updated by top international scientists in our field but also an excellent opportunity for live, real, person-to-person communication with colleagues. Take your time, listen, make notes, discuss, and reflect.
