Are we reducing cancer inequalities in Europe? How Europe’s beating cancer plan is making a difference - public health

On 22 May, on the eve of European Week Against Cancer, DG SANTE and the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) are organising a webinar focusing on cancer inequalities. Around 2.7 million Europeans receive a cancer diagnosis each year.

But the route to that diagnosis and what happens next can vary greatly across the continent. There are variations in access and approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis and care across the EU.

A person’s age, gender, educational and income level, or where they live can also play a part.

The session “Are We Reducing Cancer Inequalities in Europe? How Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan is making a difference” will follow the journey of a cancer patient and explore how different projects of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan are tackling inequalities in cancer prevention, diagnosis and care.

A short Q&A will be hosted via Slido.
