It's European Cancer Nursing Day 2026 today (18 May)!

This year’s theme, “Supporting Life Beyond Cancer”, highlights the vital role cancer nurses play not only during diagnosis and treatment but throughout survivorship, long-term follow-up, rehabilitation, and palliative care.

Across Europe and beyond, cancer nurses provide essential support that helps people affected by cancer live well beyond their diagnosis.
