European Society of Surgical Oncology
E.S.S.O.
The European
Society of Surgical Oncology, ESSO, was founded in 1981 to advance the art,
science and practice of surgery for the treatment of cancer.
By arranging scientific conferences, professional exchanges and seminars, ESSO
endeavours to ensure that the highest possible standard of surgical treatment is
available to cancer patients throughout Europe. It aims to foster
multi-disciplinary collaboration in the clinical management of cancer patients.
ESSO is increasingly involved in the training of surgeons concerned by cancer
care throughout Europe and in promoting the development of guidelines of good
practice in cancer surgery. The Society also seeks to promote knowledge and
education about cancer care and to facilitate basic and clinical research in
oncology.
"Surgery remains the most important component of cancer treatment. For solid
tumors, the old statement: "no surgery, no cure" is still valid for the majority
of cases. For this reason surgical oncologists have a great responsibility
towards their cancer patients and towards the progress of science."
