“Cancer does not wait. Yet too many patients are still waiting for progress to reach them.
For Antonella Cardone, CEO of Cancer Patients Europe – CPE, this urgency is deeply personal.
Her journey has taken her from advocating for patients to caring for loved ones with cancer and experiencing the vulnerabilities of being a patient herself. Each perspective has reinforced a fundamental truth:
‘Every patient is unique. So, there is no standard patient, no standard decisions.’
In this interview, Cardone confronts one of Europe’s greatest cancer care challenges: scientific innovation is advancing faster than patients’ access to it.
From unequal access to treatment to the need for genuine patient involvement, her message is clear: ‘Time is of essence.’
Because for patients, delayed progress is not just a policy failure. It is time taken from their lives.
