European Cancer Organisation shared a post on LinkedIn:
“At the European Cancer Summit now ongoing in Brussels, leaders in research and policy are now exploring how Europe can take cancer research to the next level, through stronger cooperation, innovation, and lasting investment.
This session looks at how the EU Cancer Mission has reshaped research collaboration across Europe and what is needed next, starting with a proposed European Cancer Institute.
‘Cancer is not just about care; it is research and care together. Cancer research in Europe needed a cultural shift, and through the Cancer Mission, we have worked to drive this transformation. We now need to accelerate it.’ Christine Chomienne, Co-Chair of the ECO Research Policy Network
Discussions also reflect on clinical trials and data-sharing to ensure that innovation can benefit all patients equally.
‘Our knowledge base is growing exponentially, not only in the sheer volume of data, but also in the tools we now have to use it effectively. We will always need to demonstrate that new treatments outperform standard therapies, and this demands stronger collaboration. We need a mindset shift on cancer research issues, and we must work together with institutions to seize the opportunities for innovation.’ Brian Huntly, President-Elect, European Hematology Association (EHA) and Head of Department of Hematology, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.
The future of cancer research in Europe starts here. Curious? Read our paper and give us your thoughts.
Wait. There’s more! Join us tomorrow morning for the ECHoS Town Hall Meeting, where organisations across Europe will join to shape the future of EU research in cancer.”
