    Groups (European Parliament)

    European Cancer Organisation has been pleased to establish in 2022 a new grouping, National and European Parliamentarian for Cancer Action.

    Bringing together National and European parliamentarians who are committed to beating cancer and tackling inequalities in cancer on a national and European basis, this new Network for political action will:

    - Heighten political understanding of the inequalities in cancer care requiring priority attention across Europe
    - Identify key legislative and other opportunities for targeted action to reduce inequalities in cancer care, including at both national and European level
    - Convey political consensus and recommendations from politicians across Europe united in shared resolve to improve the fight against cancer in all European countries

    For more information, please see our website: https://www.europeancancer.org/national-and-european-parliamentarians-for-cancer-action

    Communication activities

    Principal policy activities of the European Cancer Organisation include:

    As part of its 2024-27 Strategy, we convene 10 Focused Topic Networks on:

    - Emergencies and Crises Network
    - Research Policy Network
    - Health Systems & Quality Cancer Care Network
    - HPV and Hep B Action Network
    - Prevention, Early Detection & Screening Network
    - Survivorship and Quality of Life Network
    - Digital Health Network
    - Inequalities Network
    - Workforce Network

    The European Cancer Summit

    The annual European Cancer Summit convenes over 500 leading representatives from across cancer policy communities (healthcare professions, patient organisations, governmental and regulatory audiences, commercial providers to the sectors) to debate and discuss pressing opportunities and threats for improving cancer care and outcomes. The meeting aims to signal consensus where possible via meeting resolutions, and elsewhere, allow controversies and difference of views to be aired and debated. Examples of passed resolutions at the European Cancer Summit include those relating to evaluation of quality cancer care, integration of primary and secondary care, tackling discrimination against cancer survivors and calling for policies to bring about the elimination of HPV caused cancers as a public health problem in Europe. More information here www.europeancancer.org.

    Policy campaign activities

    Throughout 2024, the European Cancer Organisation is leading series of pan-European cancer policy campaigns include:

    - Time to Accelerate: Together Against Cancer https://www.europeancancer.org/timetoaccelerate
    - Time to Accelerate: For Cancer Screening https://www.europeancancer.org/screening
    - A Cancer Workforce in Crisis: https://www.europeancancer.org/workforce
    - HPV Action

    The Essential Requirements for Quality Cancer Care (ERQCCs)

    From 2017, we have been publishing a series of consensus papers articulating healthcare professional and patient visions of what high quality care should be composed of. They include checklists and explanations of organisation and actions that are necessary to give high-quality care to cancer patients. They are written by European experts representing all disciplines involved in cancer care. Typically covering such issues as membership of the core and extended multidisciplinary teams, the agreed roles of each profession, patient information needs and much else, ERQCCs have been developed for: colorectal cancer, sarcoma, melanoma, oesophageal-gastric cancer, prostate cancer and primary care.

    Patient Advisory Committee (PAC)

    Our Patient Advisory Committee, comprised of representatives from 22 European and international level patient organisations, plays a central role in ensuring activities and policies of the organisation are strongly counselled from the patient perspective. With representation within our Board of Directors, many policy and activity proposals emanating from the PAC are taken forward with our 42 Member Societies. Examples in this respect have included the Essential Requirements for Quality Cancer Care: Primary Care, and the European Code of Cancer Practice.

    We also conduct collaborative policy activities through alliance initiatives such as: the European Public Health Alliance, the Biomedical Alliance, the European Chronic Disease Alliance, the Union for International Cancer Control, and the Federation of European Academies of Medicine (FEAM).
