Details
Ahead of World Cancer Day, the Commission has published the latest Country Cancer Profiles for all Member States, Norway and Iceland. The 2025 reports show that cancer survival rates are increasing across the EU. At the same time, cancer continues to be a public health concern, and cancer inequalities still persist across Member States.
The profiles also demonstrate how cancer can touch us all, with the number of people under active treatment or living with a history of cancer increasing due to population ageing and increased survival rates. In recognition of this, most countries have developed national cancer plans that align closely with the key elements in Europe's Beating Cancer Plan.
