Newly Implementable Programmes for Prostate, Lung and Gastric Cancer Screening
Three years ago, the European Union reshaped the agenda on cancer screening. The goal? Save lives through early detection, with a focus on prostate, lung, and gastric cancer.
How? Launch a series of projects – PRAISE-U, SOLACE, and TOGAS – to pilot and prepare for the implementation of new screening programmes which account for the needs of individuals and their different backgrounds. Now it's time to assess the progress and turn pilots into programmes.
This is a unique event for the cancer community. Make sure to be part of it.
17 & 18 February - Brussels & online
Mark your calendars now! Registrations open soon.

Cancer in a Changing Global Landscape:
Challenges & Commitments
In an era of political disruption and uncertainty, the European Cancer Summit 2025 convenes the broad cancer community to chart a new path forward.
These extraordinary times call for extraordinary commitment. As budgets tighten and investments in health care come under intense scrutiny, the need to maximise every euro and drive innovation has never been greater. The cancer community must not only learn from past successes but also adapt rapidly to safeguard the future of patient care.
Unity is now more vital than ever, and nowhere is that unity better realised than at the biggest cancer policy event in Europe.
The European Cancer Summit takes place on 19-20 November, in Brussels & online. Registrations are now open!

Young Cancer Professionals Roundtable
In the European Union, detecting breast cancer early can mean a 96% survival rate instead of a 38% rate. But dense breast tissue makes detection difficult, causing missed diagnoses, delayed detection, and the need for more invasive treatments with poorer outcomes.
An estimated 40% to 50% of women over 40 have dense breasts, and the rate is even higher among younger women. Urgent action is needed to protect women across Europe.
The European Cancer Organisation’s Young Cancer Professionals and the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) are hosting the upcoming roundtable on how screening policies across Europe can better serve women with dense breasts, save lives, and improve their quality of life after treatment.

03 September 2025, European Parliament, Brussels
Every year, an estimated 450,000 men in Europe are diagnosed with prostate cancer, and 107,000 die as a result of the disease. And then there’s the price we all pay: Prostate cancer costs Europeans € 9 billion each year, with healthcare accounting for € 5.8 billion.
Despite this, most European countries still do not have prostate screening programmes in place.
The European Association of Urology, the European Cancer Organisation, Europa Uomo, and the Global Action on Men’s Health are calling on the European Union to address prostate cancer in Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.
On European Prostate Cancer Awareness Day, experts, policy makers, and patient representatives will gather to explore how public policies can dramatically improve screening and early detection.
The event takes place in the European Parliament on Wednesday 3 September, 14:30-16:00 CEST. Register here.

TRANSiTION Stakeholder Forum Report
The digital transformation of cancer care presents a pivotal opportunity to enhance early diagnosis, personalise treatment, and improve patient outcomes. Yet, the success of these innovations hinges on the digital readiness of healthcare professionals. The TRANSITION project, co-funded by the European Commission, addresses this challenge by bridging the digital skills gap among clinical and non-clinical cancer care professionals across Europe.
The TRANSITION initiative is a multi-stakeholder, EU-wide effort led by the Cyprus University of Technology, involving 24 partners across 14 Member States. It aims to upskill and reskill oncology professionals through the development and deployment of a structured training curriculum consisting of 11 comprehensive modules. These modules cover topics ranging from digital communication and remote patient monitoring to AI in healthcare and digital decision-making.
On 9 October 2024, a dedicated Stakeholder Forum brought together policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to inform and refine the project’s approach.

More than 4,500 Cypriots are diagnosed with cancer each year, adding to the more than 23 million people in Europe currently living with or beyond the disease.
Europe’s ambitious Beating Cancer Plan and the EU Cancer Mission have initiated unprecedented momentum in cancer prevention, care, and survivorship. We must now build on that progress.
