Action on Cancer Inequalities: Our Shared Roadmap

This has been a year of turning plans into action. Notable amongst these is the publication of the first iteration of a new EU Cancer Inequalities Registry, and the start of several Beating Cancer Plan initiatives, including: an EU Network of Comprehensive Cancer Centres; a European-wide campaign against HPV cancers; and an inter-speciality cancer training programme.

In addition, this opening session will officially launch the landmark report ‘European Groundshot—addressing Europe’s cancer research challenges: a Lancet Oncology Commission’. Its 12 evidence-based recommendations provide a roadmap to achieving a 70% survival rate, on average, for all cancer patients in Europe by 2035.

The European Cancer Organisation will also share a new tool developed by its Inequalities Network, the European Cancer Pulse. It provides an extensive complement to the EU Cancer Inequalities Registry and will highlight a range of additional cancer inequalities across the continent.

SmartCARE. A Fit-for-Future Cancer Survivorship Agenda

The centrepiece of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan was the promise to fund a ‘Better Life for Cancer Patients Initiative’. It includes: a Cancer Survivor Smart-Card (SmartCARE project); a European Cancer Patient Digital Centre; and official EU studies on the return-to-work needs of cancer survivors and the forms of discrimination they may encounter, including from financial services providers. The Survivorship and Quality of Life Session will take stock of the latest developments.

Embedding Outcome Measurement in Quality Cancer Care: Where Are We Now?

Across Europe, with an EU level cancer plan now complementing an array of national cancer plans, and a noteworthy focus on achieving an EU Network of Comprehensive Cancer Centres, how can we gain a fuller picture of the interventions and investments that yield the strongest improvements in outcomes? To such questions directors of pioneer cancer centres across Europe have been providing significant focus with the session providing an opportunity for sharing of experience and perspective. This will include exchange with patient advocates and the healthcare industry for their insights on fit-for-purpose outcome measurement in oncology.

The Oncology Workforce: We Must Act – and INTERACT – to Provide Effective and Equitable Cancer Care

Effective and equitable cancer care does not only concern the provision of advanced medications and machinery. It requires teams of trained professionals who bring multidisciplinary and multi-professional care to life. This is where INTERACT-EUROPE comes into play, our recently awarded 18-month EU4Health project. Together, we aim to set the standard for inter-specialty cancer training in Europe.

During this session, we will look at the level to which current EU policy is supporting the growth and development of oncology professions. We will also explore new technological advances and ways to bolster the resilience of the oncology workforce, especially considering the experiences of Covid-19.

Supporting Ukrainian Cancer Patients and Cancer Services: Immediate Needs and Longer-term Rebuilding

Inspired by the heroism of patient organisations and healthcare professionals in Ukraine, the session of the ECO-ASCO Special Network: Impact of the War in Ukraine on Cancer will call upon the views of leading actors in Europe’s response to the healthcare and cancer care needs of the War. Anna Uzlova, the CEO of a pre-eminent Ukrainian cancer patient organisation, and Roman Shyyan, a cancer surgeon joining live from Lviv, will relate day-to-day experiences and outline ways in which the European and international cancer community can go further in restoring services and addressing the twin battles that Ukrainian cancer patients must now endure: that of their cancer, and that of the war.

The EU’s Cancer Policy Agenda: A Progress Report and Sense Check

Fewer issues are closer to the heart of every citizen than the health and wellbeing of themselves and those they love. The EU’s ambitious agenda on cancer has a clear and real prospect of changing and improving lives by helping to reduce cancer incidence, speeding early detection of cancer, enhancing treatment and outcomes, upscaling European cancer research, and embedding new foundational approaches to cancer survivorship and follow-up care. Implementation of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the EU Research Mission on Cancer are advancing at pace. The annual European Cancer Summit serves as a time and a place for the European cancer community to convene together and share views on the progress made so far, bring attention to any roadblocks in delivery, and cast eyes to the next Missions, Plans and Actions to come.
