What is the EpSSG Association?
The EpSSG Association is a legal structure to protect and promote the activities of EpSSG. The principal objective of the Association is to improve the quality of care offered to children, teenagers and young adults with soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Its aims include:
- spread best clinical practice to improve care in both European and non European countries
- provide expert opinion to physicians who treat STS
- promote and support clinical trials
- promote communication between clinical and research institutions and increase national and international cooperation in the fields of health services, science and education
- improve information available to patients with STS and their families
- raise awareness amongst health professionals and the general public of the issues affecting patients with STS
The EpSSG Association is able to raise and hold funds to support the work of EpSSG and assumes responsibility for all activities undertaken by EpSSG.
Membership
