The EBCC, and all our partners (EORTC, EUSOMA and EUROPA DONNA) would like to express our condolences to the family and many friends of Hans-Jorg Senn. His heart and soul were in what was good for patients with breast cancer and furthering our knowledge of this disease. He was a long-standing friend of EBCC and respected the different ways clinicians, researchers and patients could all contribute to improving the care of breast cancer. He will be missed but his positive attitude and the work he did will live on.
