It provides sound and reliable data on cancer prevention and care to identify trends, disparities and inequalities between Member States and regions. It is governed by European Commission services, the Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) and Directorate-General of the Joint Research Centre (DG JRC), together with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The European Cancer Pulse is an official information source for the European Cancer Inequalities Registry.
