The Europe's Beating Cancer Plan is structured around four main areas of action and includes 10 flagship initiatives and a number of support actions. The plan will be implemented through all Commission funding instruments, of which € 4 billion is earmarked for action to combat cancer, including the EU for Health, Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programs.
Marcis Leja, European Commission Cancer Mission Council Expert, Director of the Institute of Clinical and Preventive Medicine of the University of Latvia and Head of the Science Department of Riga East Clinical University Hospital: “The Europe's Beating Cancer Plan and the European Commission Cancer Mission Council Recommendations are closely coordinated. research in oncology and in Europe and in each European Member State are inextricably linked and a priority. Both documents place a strong emphasis on equality, in the broadest sense: reducing inequalities between European Member States, within each Member State, and, in all areas, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and equal opportunities for doctors and researchers in Europe.
One of the important steps to be taken by 2025 is the establishment of a functional network of comprehensive cancer centers across Europe, which also calls for the establishment of such a center in each EU Member State. At least 90% of the country's population must have access to the services provided by such a center. The Europe's Beating Cancer Plan also sets high standards for quality cancer screening and the digitization of oncology.”
