This is the largest event in Europe in 2015 to\u00a0present\u00a0new data and ground-breaking information to oncology professionals.[/quote_box_center]
\nThe scientific co-chairs of the meeting,\u00a0Peter Naredi and Elisabeth de\u00a0Vries, give us a preview of some of\u00a0the themes, tracks or sessions that\u00a0they are particularly excited about.
\n[quote_box_right]The European Cancer Congress\u00a0(ECC 2015) is a biennial\u00a0congress which combines\u00a0the efforts of the most important\u00a0European oncology\u00a0professionals\u00a0with the aim of\u00a0improving\u00a0the prevention, diagnosis,\u00a0treatment and care\u00a0of cancer\u00a0patients.[/quote_box_right]
\n\u201cMost exciting for me is that this is\u00a0a true multidisciplinary European congress.\u00a0All disciplines will find that\u00a0there is an excellent programme\u00a0for them. It\u2019s not a congress for just\u00a0one, two or three disciplines, but for\u00a0many different professions.\u201d – says\u00a0Peter Naredi.
\nAnd Elisabeth de Vries agrees. \u201cFor\u00a0anyone involved in cancer care, this\u00a0is a really nice meeting because it\u00a0gives you this extremely broad perspective;\u00a0there are experts from\u00a0everywhere and from all different\u00a0backgrounds. There are some new\u00a0tracks and there will be presentations\u00a0and interactions in your own\u00a0field of interest\u201d.
\n\u201cIn addition, there will be a lot of\u00a0new data presented, much of which\u00a0will be especially interesting for\u00a0medical oncologists as there are so\u00a0many changes in treatment occurring\u00a0at the moment, for example,\u00a0with the immunotherapies that are\u00a0becoming available.\u201d
\nAs co-chairs, Peter Naredi and Elisabeth\u00a0de Vries had several different\u00a0things in mind as they constructed\u00a0the programme, together with the\u00a0chairs of the individual tracks.
\nKey requirements were top quality\u00a0science, a good balance between\u00a0ages, countries and gender and a focus\u00a0on integration.
\n[quote_box_left]The expected number of\u00a0participants is above 18,000.[/quote_box_left]
\n\u201cIntegration means that we have discussed\u00a0what are the most interesting\u00a0topics and how do we make them\u00a0attractive to people from more than\u00a0just one or two disciplines,\u201d says Peter.

\u201cIt\u2019s a reflection of our daily cancer\u00a0care, because cancer care in Europe\u00a0is becoming multidisciplinary in\u00a0diagnostics, in decision-making and\u00a0also in treatments, and this is reflected\u00a0in the programme for this, the\u00a0largest European cancer congress,\u201d\u00a0he says.
\nImmunotherapy
\nImmunotherapy is a theme that will\u00a0be running through several different\u00a0sessions as well as having its own\u00a0track.
\n\u201cWe think this will be important\u00a0in the congress,\u201d says Elisabeth.
\nShe highlights\u00a0the talk in the opening\u00a0session\u00a0on Saturday on \u201cImmunotherapy,\u00a0past, present and future\u201d,\u00a0by Caroline Robert, from the Institut\u00a0Gustave-Roussy.
\nYoung oncologists
\nFor young oncologists in Europe this\u00a0is a \u201cmust attend\u201d conference.\u00a0\u201cYoung oncologists are a real presence\u00a0in the congress as a whole.

\nWhy Vienna?
\nVienna is a natural host of\u00a0ECC2015.\u00a0Its track record as a leader\u00a0in medical thought and practice\u00a0speaks for itself.\u00a0It has made its mark in key\u00a0areas\u00a0like radiotherapy, clinical\u00a0diagnosis\u00a0and public health\u00a0to name a few.
\n[/quote_box_left]
\nNot only do they have their own track\u00a0but we expect to see them as presenters\u00a0elsewhere,\u201d says Elisabeth.
\nSessions that will be particularly useful\u00a0include mentoring, avoiding burnout\u00a0and cancer training and career\u00a0planning, and opportunities for young\u00a0oncologists in Europe.
\u201cThe idea behind this is that people\u00a0like to get experience in other countries,\u00a0and they like exchanges, but\u00a0they need help with how they should\u00a0organise it, with whom should\u00a0they\u00a0be in touch and what to expect,\u201d she\u00a0says.
