Presentation of the event

As one of the 10 flagships of Europe's Beating Cancer Plan, the European Cancer Inequalities Registry process aims to identify trends, disparities and inequalities between Member States and regions. It helps Member States to identify respective gaps and shortcomings in cancer care and prevention, thus guiding targeted investments and interventions at EU, national and regional level.

The Registry process was launched in February 2022 with its first milestone, the ECIR Data Tool, which allows users to explore cancer inequality indicators in an interactive way. The Registry reached its second milestone in February 2023, with the publication of the first 29 Country Cancer Profiles. The third milestone of the Registry, the "Beating Cancer Inequalities in the EU" report was published in February 2024, completing the first reporting cycle. These key deliverables are complemented by research on specific cancer inequalities, such as the study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer on socio-economic inequalities.

The objective of this meeting was to present the key findings form the new edition of Country Cancer Profiles, including fresh data and insights into the developments on cancer prevention and control at national levels. The launch also introduced two new elements of the Country Profiles package: a synthesis report and a Cancer Performance Tracker, which provides an assessment of country performance against the EU average for a set of cancer indicators.
