Susan Knox, Executive Director of Europa Donna, a Europe-wide coalition of affiliated groups of women that facilitates the exchange and spread of pertinent information concerning breast cancer through the different cultures it represents.

Ms. Knox explains the importance of the EBCC conference both to their work with clinicians and as a way of informing their advocates of the advances being made in breast cancer services.

Discrepancies between the access to expensive new treatments among Eurpoean countries is a concern and Europa Dona are trying to minimise this and guarantee that all European countries offer the same services, recommended by EU guidelines.
