CCI Europe

CCI Europe CCI Europe represents Europe in the CCI global network of childhood cancer parents’ and survivors’ support groups. We are here to make it a reality.

Parents, patients, survivors and patient advocates are united to improve the medical and psychosocial care for children and adolescents with cancer all over Europe, to implement the European Standards of Care to eliminate still existing inequalities to improve the quality of survivorship. We as CCI Europe work together with the medical and psychosocial professionals, academia, researchers, scienti

sts, civil society and private organizations for the same aim, to help children and adolescents with cancer to be cured, with no – or as few as possible – long term health problems / late effects. Every child with cancer deserves a chance, no matter where in Europe they live.

🎗️When treatment ends, many people assume life goes back to normal. But for many survivors, life after cancer comes with ongoing challenges.

ℹ️ Health problems, learning difficulties, emotional challenges, and other can appear months or years after treatment. In fact, 3 in 4 childhood cancer survivors are affected by late effects during their lifetime.

💛 No two experience in the same way. Some face significant challenges. Others experience fewer long-term effects. Every experience is valid. Understanding life after is the first step towards better support, better care, and better for survivors.
