    29 January 2024

    The European Cancer Organisation, its member societies and supporting community, are embarking on a major new initiative and we invite you, your organisations, and networks to join us in this pan-European campaign being rolled out in 2024.

Together, we can collect more and better data, conduct impactful case studies, consult healthcare professionals and patient advocates to identify best practices that have been implemented in recent years, and promote policy recommendations to policy-makers.

    Together we can ensure that no one is left behind and has equal access to early treatment and cancer screening across Europe. Share your insights and experiences with us. Sign up by contacting screening@europeancancer.org.
