Association of European Cancer Leagues

Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar

The Association of European Cancer Leagues (ECL) is a non-profit, European umbrella organisation of 34 national and regional cancer societies in 28 WHO Europe countries. ECL provides an exclusive platform for members to collaborate with their international peers, primarily in the areas of cancer prevention, tobacco control, cancer research, access to medicines and patient support, and creates opportunities to advocate for these issues at the EU and national level.

ECL represents cancer leagues in the context of EU policy and advocates for members’ mutual priorities. ECL further provides administrative and technical support while offering a platform for an exchange of experiences and best practices between ECL member societies. ECL members work together primarily in the fields of cancer prevention (e.g., healthy lifestyles, skin protection and vaccinations HBV, HPV), tobacco control, access to medicines, quality of cancer care and support for cancer patients and survivors.
