Andrea Manzano: Honored to Present the Comparator Report on Cancer in Europe 2025 at the 10th Annual World Cancer Series Europe
Andrea Manzano, Researcher at IHE – The Swedish Institute for Health Economics, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I had the great honor of presenting the Comparator Report on Cancer in Europe 2025 at the 10th Annual World Cancer Series Europe in sunny Brussels, a forum hosted by Economist Impact.
I focused on four key messages from our IHE – The Swedish Institute for Health Economics report:
- Cancer burden is rising, but there’s progress.
Cancer is expected to become the leading cause of death in Europe by 2035. Still, mortality rates are falling in many countries, showing that progress is possible. - Survival is improving, but there are big disparities.
While survival has increased overall, large differences remain. If all countries had outcomes like Sweden, around 200,000 deaths could be avoided each year. - The economic burden is growing, but economic burden per patient is stable.
Spending on cancer care has more than doubled since 1995, while indirect costs like productivity losses have gone down, and the cost per patient has stayed stable, indicating that rising overall costs are mainly driven by more people being diagnosed and treated. - Access to innovation remains uneven.
There are still major gaps in access to new medicines and diagnostics, especially in Central and Eastern Europe. Equity in access remains a key challenge.
It was a privilege to share these findings at such a high-level forum!
