Abstract

Abstract : Cancer is a massive challenge with a significant impact on society, healthcare systems, the economy and an increasing number of patients and their families. To help meet this societal challenge, the European Commission has recently proposed a mission‐oriented approach to cancer in Horizon Europe, and about 60 participants met at the Vatican to discuss a mission‐oriented approach to cancer in Europe, as documented in this report.
