EURACAN ERN is the network of European Healthcare Providers with expertise in the management of rare adult solid cancers as thymoma and thymic carcinoma. Thanks to EURACAN’s structure, clinicians and researchers across Europe can share expertise, knowledge and resources.
European Reference Networks (ERNs) are based on the founding principle of a patient-centered approach. The contribution and perspective of patients and their representatives is key to support the mission of ERNs in improving the quality and standard of care and the clinical research available for people living with a rare, complex disease.

TUTOR (rare thoracic tumors) is the Italian non-profit organization for patients with thymic tumors and mesothelioma and is E-PAG (European Patient Advocacy Group) at EURACAN for rare thoracic tumors. TUTOR, as E-PAG, is the patients voice collaborating closely with ERN’s coordinator and physicians to enhance access to care and foster research.
