Newly Implementable Programmes for Prostate, Lung and Gastric Cancer Screening
Three years ago, the European Union reshaped the agenda on cancer screening. The goal? Save lives through early detection, with a focus on prostate, lung, and gastric cancer.
How? Launch a series of projects – PRAISE-U, SOLACE, and TOGAS – to pilot and prepare for the implementation of new screening programmes which account for the needs of individuals and their different backgrounds. Now it's time to assess the progress and turn pilots into programmes.
This is a unique event for the cancer community. Make sure to be part of it.
17 & 18 February - Brussels & online

Joint Stakeholder Forum of the ALTHEA and DESIPOC projects
More than 40% of cancer patients report their mental health is deteriorating; yet only 19% receive psychiatric or psychological support.
Quality cancer care can only be achieved through a holistic approach that addresses the psychosocial well-being and quality of life of patients.
EU-funded initiatives such as ALTHEA and DESIPOC are already tackling this issue with new technologies to better diagnose and monitor cancer patients.
Join this end-of-the-year stakeholder forum to hear about these projects, exchange with cross-sector experts and patient representatives, and discuss how technology can bridge the gap between mental health needs and available care.
The online event, hosted by the European Cancer Organisation (ECO), takes place on Wednesday 10 December from 15:00 to 17:00 CET. Registrations are open now!

Cancer in a Changing Global Landscape:
Challenges & Commitments
In an era of political disruption and uncertainty, the European Cancer Summit 2025 convenes the broad cancer community to chart a new path forward.
These extraordinary times call for extraordinary commitment. As budgets tighten and investments in health care come under intense scrutiny, the need to maximise every euro and drive innovation has never been greater. The cancer community must not only learn from past successes but also adapt rapidly to safeguard the future of patient care.
Unity is now more vital than ever, and nowhere is that unity better realised than at the biggest cancer policy event in Europe.
The European Cancer Summit takes place on 19-20 November, in Brussels & online. Registrations are now open!

Opportunities, Challenges, and Policy Recommendations
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming virtually every aspect of cancer care – from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and survivorship. Europe can become a global leader in AI and cancer if the technology is properly harnessed. But a Wild West scenario must be avoided.
