Cancer Screening Data

Workstream 1 covers the data aspect on cancer screening in Europe through literature search of the current initiatives and existing indicators of the six cancers covered by the Council’s latest recommendations (Breast, Cervical, Colorectal, Gastric, Lung and Prostate). This literature review aims to put together a clear and concise cancer screening national policy implementation index tracing the current state-of-the-art of cancer screening across Europe to support policymakers and follow the plan’s progress. Not only will it highlight the status of each country regarding cancer screening implementation, but also broadcast the key indicators of cancer screening programmes’ performance across Europe.

Along data gathering, the mapping of associated experts within our community will enable the creation of an expert group, indispensable to ensure applicability and reliability of our final cancer screening national policy implementation index.
