Spotlight On: Dutch Colorectal Cancer Group
The Dutch Colorectal Cancer Group (DCCG) is a collaboration between medical disciplines that are relevant for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer (surgical oncology, radiotherapy, medical oncology, pathology, radiology, gastroenterology).
The primary goal of the DCCG is to initiate clinical scientific research and thereby to promote the quality of diagnosis and treatment of patients with colorectal cancer on a national level.
The DCCG is this year the principal organiser behind the The European Multidisciplinary Colorectal Cancer Congress, to be held in Nice. The conference provides a platform for in-depth multidisciplinary interaction among the various research areas involved.
The conference in 2010 builds upon four previous multidisciplinary conferences on colorectal cancer. These were held in The Netherlands in 2001 and 2004 and in Germany in 2006 and 2008, visited by more than 500 participants from more than 30 countries.
The conference will have separate sections on Surgery, Medical Oncology, Radio Oncology, Pathology, Imaging, Gastroenterology, Genetics and Biology. The format of the conference consists of oral and poster presentations, keynote lectures and interactive sessions between the various disciplines.
