ESSO Survey about Surgical Oncology in Europe: Bottom-Up

Dear Colleague,

We are conducting a survey on the recognition/existence of surgical oncology in Europe on behalf of the ESSO Education and Training Committee and the ESSO Public Affairs Committee. Your contribution is essential in order to compile a map of the available evidence and would be greatly appreciated. A subsequent paper is planned if the data collected is sufficient.

Yours Sincerely,

Sergio Sandrucci

ESSO Education and Training Committee Vice-Chair
