Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructures (CCIs)

Regional, national or cross-border CCIs should ideally bring together all oncological prevention, screening and care and research structures (universities, hospital, research institutes, screening facilities etc.) within their scope. 

These structures are interfacing and the foundation of the CCI should be the patient and citizen’s needs. A coordination board should represent all CCI members and public authorities/agency.
