The AECC is a non-profit organisation, which works to educate, support, and accompany sick people and their families, along with financing research projects that will allow better diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The heads of the scientific societies explained to the Queen how they have responded to people with oncohematological diseases during the pandemic while expressing concern about the impact of COVID-19 on cancer and how it will affect it in the future. They addressed the reorganisation of oncohematology services after the crisis with the need to return to normality and for greater resources. Since the start of the pandemic, under the AECC initiative, the five scientific societies have coordinated a common response, with the aim of solving the questions and concerns of cancer patients.
