The first three European Standard Clinical Practice (ESCP) are available

nn nnThe ESCP Project is an on-going close collaboration with ERN PaedCan and SIOP Europe’s Clinical Trial Groups (ECTG) – aiming to develop approved clinical recommendations reflecting current best practice for each common childhood cancer type. The ultimate aim is to improve outcomes and to increase childhood cancer survival and quality of life by providing these benchmarks for best practice.nnThe ESCP Project is defining treatment pathways that reflect the current best standard of care – defined by the collective European experts in each field. These expert-endorsed recommendations aim to support improved access to best standard treatments for all children with cancer throughout Europe and holds the potential of reducing inequalities in childhood cancer outcomes across Member States. The intended use of the documents are to provide a documented recommendation for best standard treatments and can be used as a benchmark where there is no national recommendation or clinical trial option available.nnThe first ESCP protocols are available on the SIOPE members’ portal (exclusive to SIOPE members) and others will follow gradually to provide important information to paediatric haemato-oncologists, patients, and families in situations where current standard best clinical practice is either not available or front trials are not accessible.nnThe following protocols were delivered in 2021:n
