UEG Pre-conference Workshop at the European Colorectal Cancer Days

“Establishing Colorectal Cancer Screening in the entire European Union: Reasons, methods and role of stakeholders”

Friday, April 26, 2013, 9:00–12:00

On April 26, 2013 UEG will, with the support of MEP Pavel Poc and the Institute of Biostatistics and Analyses of the Masaryk University, organize a pre-conference workshop on colorectal cancer screening. This workshop will take place in the morning of April 26 and aims at offering solutions to European countries without an effective Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening programme.

UEG experts that were heavily involved in the successful introduction of CRC screening in their own country and beyond will share their expertise with an audience of gastroenterologists, national health ministries representatives, patients and other interested stakeholders.

Aims

  • The improvement of current European CRC screening programmes
  • Introduction of CRC screening programmes in European countries without such a programme
