Cancer

Cancer

Every year 3.2 million Europeans are diagnosed with cancer, mostly breast, colorectal or lung cancers. Although great advances continue to be made in research and treatment, cancer remains a key health concern. The EU has taken action on various fronts to save life and improve cancer survivors' quality of life.
