MEMBER HIGHLIGHT: EUROPACOLON
EuropaColon was launched in 2004 to support colorectal cancer patients outside the United Kingdom. For the next 10 years, the organization grew across Europe and established a reputation for dedication to the interests and needs of these patients. In 2015, recognizing that patients with other digestive cancers were not getting information or support, EuropaColon expanded into these cancers, starting with pancreatic. EuropaColon has now established or partnered with 43 advocacy groups in 32 European countries.
