[The necessity, aim and tasks of establishing the Oncology Nursing Section of the Hungarian Cancer Society].

The Hungarian Cancer Society organized its 27th Congress in Budapest on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. The 27th jubilee celebration congress took part in the spirit of this in the Budapest Congress and World Trade Center between November 8-10. The Oncology Nursing part had its turn on 10 November where within the frames of Oncology Nursing the invited could listen to presentations in 3 different sections: Prevention, Active Clinical Oncology Nursing and Cure of Souls-Rehabilitation. I could also call November 10th a day of historic importance since the Nursing Section had the opportunity for reorganization on its 50th anniversary and could hold its statutory meeting as a member of the Society of the same rank. Dr. Jan Foubert Ph.D., the former president and present Executive Director of EONS (European Oncology Nursing Society), honored the congress with his presence, assisting our work with his valuable pieces of advice. As a result of this on December 1, 2007 our Section could join EONS, which is centered in Brussels and has 29 countries as members well-prepared. With the Section having been reorganized, a wide cooperation amongst doctors, oncologists, oncology nurses and further experts could start, where they can all work together now against cancer, a serious problem of our age all over the world.
