Abstract

Abstract: National cancer plans (NCPs) saw a strong push with the recommendation of the European Commission from 2009, which called upon Member States to adopt NCPs or national cancer strategies. This process resulted in rapid adoption of NCPs. Joint Action EPAAC developed the European Guide for Quality National Cancer Control Programmes in support of their preparation. Europe's Beating Cancer Plan poses a new task and challenge in the need to transpose its recommendations into the national cancer documents.
