ECCO 13 - One voice, one vision needed to overcome cancer in Europe

, MAC will be committed to serving this purpose and to promoting action on cancer as an EU priority and harnessing European health policy to that end.

Speaking at ECCO 13, Mr Margaritis Schinas, Head of Cabinet of Markos Kyprianou, European Commissioner in charge for Health and Consumer Protection, wanted to update people on the ongoing elements in terms of long term policies concerning in cancer prevention, in addition to the initiatives for the future. He commented, "These policies include initiatives addressing the development and sharing of best practice in cancer prevention among the Member States. Such areas comprise the 'European Code against Cancer' addressing the European Citizen directly on his/her possibilities to prevent cancer, the 'Council Recommendation on Cancer Screening' recommending high quality screening programmes for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer together with the series of 'EU Guidelines on Best Practice in Cancer Screening', which have been developed under the 'Europe Against Cancer Programme' and which are now followed up by the European Cancer Network with support from the present public health programme (2003-2008). Last but not least the Commission supported the European Network of Cancer Registries, which is presently called the 'EU Network for Information on Cancer in Europe (EUNICE)'. This network provides the citizen, as well as the Member States authorities, with comparative high quality statistics on cancer incidence and mortality throughout Europe provided by the EUCAN database at the WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon."

Conclusions

The delegates in the FECS-ECCO 13 Patients' Programme issued guidelines based on their discussions calling on;

The EU Member States to:

  • Develop national cancer plans
  • Develop cancer registries
  • Increase EU-wide cooperation

    The European Commission to:

  • Continue to support the Member States' efforts to coor
