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
Registrations are open now!

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.

With 237 recognised subtypes of blood cancers, including lymphomas and 109 myeloid tumours, the complexity of diagnosis and care is immense. Hematological malignancies are especially difficult to detect due to their non-specific symptoms and long diagnostic pathways.
As a member of the consortium behind the EU-funded SANGUINE project, the European Cancer Organisation (ECO) hosted the Stakeholder Forum ‘Uniting Forces: Addressing Needs in Blood Cancer Care’ last October. The forum brought together policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and patient representatives to explore the latest developments and their potential impact on enhancing blood cancer care.
