“IARC kicks off work on the Third EU Cancer Screening Report.
On 4-5 February 2026, IARC hosted the first EU‑GAINS expert workshop in Lyon, launching preparations for the Third EU Cancer Screening Report. Participants from IARC, DG SANTE, the JRC, clinical partners, and 33 countries reviewed key findings from recent screening programs and aligned on priorities for harmonized indicators, data collection, and report structure.
This meeting marks the first step toward a strengthened EU evidence base for early detection.
