DISSECT COST Action

Data collection is now officially underway for the TRAIN-DISSECT survey, and the questionnaire is open for completion by surgical oncologists and trainees worldwide.

What the Survey Aims to Achieve

Led by DISSECT Working Group 1 (WG1), this pan-European needs-assessment survey maps existing surgical oncology training programmes across different countries, identifies structural gaps and disparities, and provides evidence to support the development of a harmonised European and global training framework. Your responses will help shape future policy and training improvements in surgical oncology worldwide.

Who Should Participate

Surgical oncologists, surgical oncology trainees, fellows, and surgeons involved in cancer surgery — at any career stage — from any country worldwide.
