In this edition, we highlight the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan's flagship initiative to eliminate cancers caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV). As we delve into the latest publications, we're thrilled to congratulate our colleagues who have recently published in The Lancet Oncology. We're equally excited about the progress made by the European Commission Initiative on Colorectal Cancer and publication of 2022 cancer burden estimates. Let's also celebrate the €752.4 million funding commitment under the EU4Health 2024 Work Programme to strengthen the European Health Union.
