Method of discussion
The organisation created for EUROCHIP-1 is maintained
and expanded. EUROCHIP-2 has/will be:
(a) an International Steering Committee with a
co-ordinating role,
(b) a Working Group to perform analyses and prepare
reports;
(c) a National Specialist Group in each country
concerned with national themes and including professionals involved
in cancer (medical oncologists, radiotherapists, surgeons, epidemiologists,
economists, sociologists, health planners etc.);
(d) Five Domain Specialist Groups operating at
the European level on different aspects of cancer (prevention, registration
and epidemiology, screening, treatment, and social and economic
determinants);
(e) a Methodology Group to examine problems relating
to the collection, standardisation, and validation of data; and
(f) a Panel of Experts to elaborate the International
strategy of EUROCHIP-2 and take operational decisions. The Panel
of Experts will include delegates from each National Specialist
Group, the Domain Specialist Groups, the Methodology Group, and
all major networks and institutions directly or indirectly involved
in cancer (e.g. IARC, OECD, EUROCARE, EUROPREVAL, EBCN).
