- The National Oncology Network offers a chance to place Poland in the same rank in terms of cancer care as the rest of Europe. It should not be introduced chaotically, but gradually and based on well-defined data - said Prof. Adam Maciejczyk, chairman of the National Council for Oncology, president of the National Association of Public Cancer Centers and Institutes during a conference on the pilot and broad implementation of the KSO. The care management method is to be remodeled within the framework of the National Oncological Network. Hospitals, mainly at the regional level, are to be connected by a network. As a result, cancer patients would receive the best diagnosis and treatment. The pilot project, which was carried out in the following voivodeships: Dolnośląskie, Podlaskie, Pomorskie and Świętokrzyskie, ends this year. Prof. Adam Maciejczyk announced that his summary report is almost ready.
