The European Cancer Concord (ECC) has partnered with patients, caregivers, clinicians, and advocates to construct three articles that form a Patient’s Bill of Rights. We propose four key action steps that will advance the agenda of the ECC. These include (a) robust cancer registries, (b) monitoring of quality of care, (c) broader stakeholder engagement, and (d) dissemination of best practices.
