CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES

EURACAN is working together with the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) to help provide patients with the best care options through the preparation of Clinical Practice Guidelines

EURACAN is the ERN for adult rare solid cancers: 1 of the 24 ERNs working on a range of thematic issues, gathering the largest network of active EU centers involved in the management of patients with rare adult cancers. EURACAN is a patient-centered multi-domain ERN that distinguishes rare cancers into 10 domains corresponding to the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD10), RARECARE and RARECAreNet projects. 

The management of rare cancers poses significant diagnostic challenges, sometimes with major consequences for patients’ quality of life and outcome.
