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.

The European Cancer Summit takes place on 19-20 November, in Brussels & online. Registrations open soon!
