Addressing inequalities in cancer research
Increasing quality and quantity of research capacities across Europe is needed to address inequalities and improve outcomes for cancer patients with specific attention to high risk individuals in the Members States. We recommend to:
- Strengthen Central-Eastern European cancer centres with effective utilization of OECI’s Accreditation and Designation programme, and EACS’s Designation of Excellence (DoE) programme via collaboration with the CEEAO.
- Extend and strengthen the Paediatric Cancer Expert Reference Network to be accessible to children with cancer throughout Europe. Promote concentration of paediatric cancer research and care where feasible.
- Support cancer research activities that address region-specific issues in cancer care, prevention, research and training within Europe.
- Open dedicated calls for proposals in the Central-Eastern EU region to decrease inequalities in basic, clinical and translational cancer research.
