The European Commission Press Release from 20 September 2022 announces a new EU approach to cancer detection under Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. The objective of this approach is to increase the uptake of cancer screenings, focusing on early detection. The proposed recommendation aims to ensure that 90% of the EU population eligible for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screenings will be offered these screenings by 2025. Additionally, the new approach expands population-based, organized screening to include lung, prostate, and, in certain cases, gastric cancers. This initiative is based on the latest scientific evidence and aims to improve early cancer detection, which is crucial for increasing treatment options and saving lives, particularly in the wake of challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
