A total of 29 country cancer profiles (EU-27, Iceland and Norway) were produced for the first publication, with the help of the OECD, which serve as a tool to identify inequalities in cancer prevention and treatment. They highlight the main achievements, challenges and disparities within each country and compare the performance of individual countries with the situation in the EU as a whole. This helps policymakers and helps to steer investment and action at regional, national and EU level under the umbrella of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Profiles show that EU countries spent substantial sums, almost \u20ac170 billion, on cancer treatment (in 2018). Another important finding is that there are also large inequalities in cancer death rates between and within EU countries. This can be partly explained by the different degrees of exposure to cancer risk factors, but also by the different capacities of health systems to ensure timely and free access to early diagnosis and the high quality of cancer care and treatment. The profiles show that identifying challenges and sharing best practices among Member States can help countries reduce cancer inequalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the day, some good practices will be presented such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- the project carried out by the NGO Elis and the Agency for Development Cooperation<\/a> in collaboration with the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome, which has established the first Breast Unit in Palestine, a multidisciplinary breast center that guarantees diagnosis and treatment to Palestinian women to intervene promptly on breast cancer<\/li>
- Dress P.I.N.K <\/a> (Prevention, Imaging, Network and Knowledge) project, an open science project of the CNR supported by the Veronesi Foundation, aimed at promoting the earliest possible diagnosis of cancer through the personalization of different diagnostic techniques<\/li>
- The actions of the Cam to Me Association<\/a>, a small association of lay missionaries that intervenes in Cambodia, Cameroon and Peru. In particular, in Cambodia it carries out support and care activities in an area of Lake 94, where women in extreme situations are treated because they often arrive in very serious oncological conditions so as not to abandon the care of the children for whom they constitute the only form of sustenance<\/li>
- smartCARE project<\/a>, a flagship initiative in Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, under the EU4Health Programme 2021-2027<\/a>. The project is developing a cancer survivor smart card – in the form of a mobile app – to improve the health and wellbeing of cancer survivors throughout Europe; it\u2019s implemented by a multi-partners consortium led by European Cancer Organisation<\/a>. It will be presented also the European Cancer Pulse, a continually evolving data visualisation tool that features over 13,000 data points and over 250 indicators on inequalities in cancer across the 50 countries that make up the WHO European region<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The event is organized by ED Roma Innovazione in cooperation with Europe Direct Centres Lombardia, Trapani Sicilia, Molise, Roma Tre, Roma Capitale and with European documentation Center of National Research Council of Italy (Cnr).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s organised in two sessions. In the morning, there will be a plenary informative session, open to all citizens and media, during which WHO and EU actions to reduce cancer inequalities at the international level will be presented, along with existing project practices in this field. In the afternoon, a round table will provide a platform for multistakeholder discussions and the definition of joint actions to raise awareness among governments and other key actors on the importance of reducing cancer inequalities and implementing concrete measures in line with the Europe\u2019s Beating Cancer Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
