ecancer's mission is to raise the standards of care for cancer patients across the world through education.

We believe that receiving the best possible cancer care is a fundamental human right.  However, all too often healthcare professionals come up against financial, linguistic and geographical barriers to accessing the highest quality knowledge about how to treat people with cancer.

In response to this problem, ecancer was founded in 2007 by two inspirational oncologists, Prof Gordon McVie and Prof Umberto Veronesi. 

They created ecancer.org as a free online platform which would allow everyone to share and benefit from new discoveries and developments.

Every month ecancer supports tens of thousands of medical professionals worldwide to learn new skills, update their knowledge and improve the care for their patients with cancer
