European Joint Action on Cancer Screening
Assuring sustainable implementation of high-quality screening for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer, as well as investigate implementation of screening programs for lung, prostate and stomach cancer.
Cancer represents a significant portion of the disease burden in Europe, much of which is preventable. The EUCanScreen project is designed to address this challenge by supporting strategies and policies that aim to reduce the burden of cancer, focusing on both personal and societal risk factors.
The Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan has called for a new EU-Supported Cancer Screening Scheme to assure high performance of cancer screening programs across all Member States (MS). The general objective of EUCanScreen is to assure sustainable implementation of high-quality screening for breast, cervical and colorectal cancers, as well as implementation of the recently recommended screening programs – for lung, prostate and gastric cancers. EUCanScreen will facilitate the reduction of cancer burden and achieving equity across the EU.
