Cancer Mission Implementation Plan has been Published
The Mission on Cancer has set the ambitious overall goal, to be jointly achieved with the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, of improving the lives of more than 3 million people by 2030, through prevention, cure and for those affected by cancer including their families, to live longer and better, by accelerating cancer prevention and control programmes and creating more equitable access to these programmes.

This Implementation Plan aims to be the operational blueprint for how the Commission will deliver on the overall objective of the Mission on Cancer, providing a clear operational and feasible course of action across the four objectives. It specifies the main actions to be undertaken over the lifetime of the Mission, with an emphasis on the first three years (2021-2023). These actions will be complemented with new actions following an iterative consultation and review process that is part of the missions. It therefore seeks to demonstrate how delivery of the mission recommendations can be ambitious, realistic and with clear, time-bound and measurable objectives.  More details can be found on the EU Mission can be found online with thier corresponding implementation plans.
