	Digestive Cancers Europe Digestive Cancers Europe (DiCE) is the European umbrella organisation of a large group of national Members representing patients with digestive cancer – colorectal, gastric, pancreatic and rare cancers. Our mission is to contribute to early diagnosis and decreased mortality from digestive cancers and to increase overall survival and quality of life. DiCE was established in 2018 by Jolanta Gore-Booth, Stefan Gijssels, and Prof. Dr. Eric Van Cutsem. It grew from Europacolon that was founded in 2005 by Jolanta Gore-Booth. In Europe, around 800,000 citizens get diagnosed with a digestive cancer every year, and 500,000 of them die. The facts demonstrate that a significant part of these deaths is avoidable. The use of best practices can save a lot of lives. Unfortunately, there is not one country in Europe where best practices are applied systematically. We want best practices to be applied everywhere so that citizens across Europe can gain access to the best high-quality cancer care.
	ESO (European School of Oncology) The European School of Oncology was founded by Umberto Veronesi and Laudomia Del Drago in 1982, with the aim of contributing to the reduction of deaths from cancer due to late diagnosis and/or inadequate treatment.

These goals are being achieved by promoting and strengthening the concept of “comprehensiveness”, supporting quality in cancer research and care also through a well-structured internal organisation of cancer centres. The final goal is to accelerate the production and application of personalised care approaches, to ensure equal rights to all cancer patients, to find new and better treatments, to provide more comprehensive care, improving patient quality of life, through evidence-based medicine.
