Abstract
This Workshop was organised by the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI)
to provide a forum for discussing the late side-effects resulting from different cancer
treatments. One of the main Workshop objectives was to generate recommendations on
how to improve knowledge and, consequently, long-term care for cancer survivors.
