From October 17 to 20, we attended the ESMO World Congress in Berlin.<\/strong> The event stood out for the active participation of the Greek medical community, which led presentations on clinical data, Real-World Evidence, and up-to-date education in collaboration with the global oncology community. At the same time, Greek teams received awards in various areas (medical, nursing, institutional), inspiring us all with hope for the ongoing developments in oncology care.<\/p>\n

Our main goal as KAPA3<\/strong> was to focus on research addressing the real needs of the population within the framework of the global community. Collaborating with healthcare professionals from around the world allowed us to gather valuable knowledge and experiences. The intensive sessions and discussions broadened our understanding and prompted reflection on the next steps.<\/p>\n

Key challenges identified for the patient advocacy community were:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mandatory multidisciplinary assessment before starting treatment<\/strong>
    \nNo patient should begin treatment without undergoing a multidisciplinary assessment, including an oncology nurse, social scientist, and psychologist. This should be considered the minimum standard for all cancer patients.<\/li>\n
  2. Certification and quality of multidisciplinary teams<\/strong>
    \nIt is our duty to ensure that these teams meet quality standards. Their certification is undoubtedly complex. However, for us at KAPA3, multidisciplinary care is a fundamental criterion for service provision and must be certified. Quality care can significantly improve patient outcomes, as shown by clinical studies and research presented at this year\u2019s congress, with potential improvements in overall survival of up to 10% (Sweden).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We are deeply proud that our work is guided by these standards precisely.<\/strong> In an era of remarkable progress in medicine and new therapies, we continue to strengthen the institution of research and multidisciplinary care, ensuring accessibility and patient-centered approaches aimed at quality of life.<\/p>\n

    This is the third time we have presented our efforts at an ESMO congress, in collaboration with the International University and the Nursing Department, highlighting our presence at every level. Meanwhile, trainings for other healthcare professionals take place annually within our organization in collaboration with Greek universities.<\/p>\n

    For Greek patients and their environment, we have not yet reached a point where the quality of care is considered a key objective for the entire oncology community. Our aim is to align with efforts across Europe so that, in the future, multidisciplinary assessments from the first day of diagnosis become standard practice within therapeutic protocols.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    At KAPA3<\/strong>, we understand that quality care, inherently multidisciplinary, requires collective effort and collaboration between organizations and professionals to determine the best possible standards.<\/p>\n
