Youth Cancer Europe shared EU Science, Research and Innovation’s post on LinkedIn, adding:
“Youth Cancer Europe was proud to take part once again in the EU Cancer Mission Dialogue.
Since 2023, the dialogue has already driven real progress for young people living with and beyond cancer:
- Nearly €150 million has been allocated to research and initiatives focused on youth affected by cancer, ensuring that the voices of young people with lived experience of cancer are reflected in innovation and policy.
- Five highly innovative projects have been funded to better understand and manage the late effects of cancer treatment.
- An EU-wide study on the provision of quality AYA cancer care is ongoing.
Looking ahead, more promising initiatives are coming, including the 2026 call to create a platform supporting the mental health needs of young people affected by cancer.”
Quoting EU Science, Research and Innovation on LinkedIn:
“Young cancer survivors have a unique perspective on cancer, and their experience is key in shaping research and policy.
Through the EU Cancer Mission Dialogue with Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer survivors, young people across Europe are working together with researchers, clinicians and policymakers to address the challenges of living with and after cancer.
Since 2023, this growing community has been working with young survivors to understand their needs, improving survivorship care and patient participation in clinical trials.
The EU Cancer Mission has already allocated nearly €150 million to youth cancer research and survivorship initiatives, ensuring that the needs of young patients and survivors are reflected in innovation and policy.”
