Cancer – a disease no one wants to face, yet it continues to impact lives unexpectedly. Can we ever truly overcome cancer? While effective treatments are vital, prevention and early detection remain the most powerful tools in reducing its toll. This report explores the latest regional variations in cancer mortality across the EU and highlights 30 innovative practices implemented by regional authorities.
Alongside a repository of best practices to serve as a valuable reference, the report provides key insights and actionable policy recommendations for regional authorities and other stakeholders. By focusing on collaboration and innovation, we can work together to make significant progress in the fight against cancer.
This study was requested by the European Committee of the Regions and written in collaboration with Agnieszka Maj and Karolina Zubel from the Center for Social and Economic Research (CASE). Please find an information sheet summarising the key takeaways of this report here.
