Welcome to cancermodel.eu
Cancer data in Europe is recorded in many shapes: hospital records, registries, research databases, each with its own structure. The European Common Cancer Data Model (ECCDM) is a shared, minimal and extensible model that lets those sources describe cancer in the same way.
This site is the front door. It points you to the model itself and to PHOENIX, the HL7 Europe initiative that brings the cancer community together to make health data interoperable: first for care, then for research and other uses.
Four ways to get involved
- Use the ECCDM. Start from the implementation guide published by HL7 Europe.
- Give feedback. Tell us where the model fits your data and where it does not.
- Join the PHOENIX calls. Follow and shape the work as it happens.
- Become a member of PHOENIX. Help set the direction.
We will use this blog for release notes, implementation stories and meeting summaries.
