Method of discussion
Collaborating partners will be organised into the
following groups:
a. Steering Committee (SC): main decision-making
body. The EUROCHIP-2 SC includes experts from Spain, Italy, UK,
Bulgaria. In EUROCHIP-3 the group will include all Work Package
(WP) leaders.
b. Domain Group of Specialists
(DGS): DGS groups are led by WP leaders and involve European specialists
of the 5 interested areas:
DGS-S: cervical screening (WP4),
DGS-E: cancer information system (epidemiology) (WP5),
DGS-R: rehabilitation needs (WP6),
DGS-C: reduction of costs in childhood cancers (WP7) and
DGS-B: reduction of costs in breast cancer (WP7).
c. National Group of Specialists
(NGS) are to be constituted in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria,
Romania (WP4) and in those MSs interested in the promotion of cancer
registration (WP5). The groups work on a national approach and are
key tools for national consensus on activities that need to receive
attention of health planners and the public.
d. Panel of Experts (PE): panel
consisting of 1 member per EU MS, drawn from experts of cancer institutions;
1 member of major European cancer networks (IARC, IAEA, EIWH, ENCR,
EUROCARE, EUROPREVAL, RARECARE, HAEMACARE), and 5 DGS leaders. EUROCHIP-3
is based on the European network created by EUROCHIP-1 and -2. The
PE represents this network. Thanks to the consensus reached within
the PE, specific cancer control initiatives were carried out by
EUROCHIP-2 at European level (i.e. invited speech at a meeting with
Parliamentary Group “MEPs Against Cancer” or MAC; preparation
of the material for the Health Strategies in Europe Lisbon Conference
by the EU Portuguese Presidency; the chapter on cancer of the EU
Slovenian Presidency book on cancer; the chapter on cancer for the
Task Force on Major and Chronic Diseases Book; the recommendation
for cancer registration to the Network of Competent Authorities).
EUROCHIP-3 will use the PE to ensure the “European imprimatur”
to all WP activities.
