COMPREHENSIVE CANCER INFRASTRUCTURES 4 EUROPE

Project description

Cancer programme to reduce disparities in research

Cancer ranks as the second most common cause of death in Europe, and cases are anticipated to rise by 25 % by 2035. Nevertheless, significant disparities hinder access to research, innovation and quality care both between and within countries. While comprehensive cancer centres and networks have the potential to enhance care, research and education, the developmental levels of these centres vary widely. Addressing this issue, a European initiative through a capacity-building programme aims to alleviate disparities. The EU-funded CCI4EU project seeks to develop a cancer care programme with an inclusive approach tailored to each nation’s baseline status, fostering increased integration between research and care. This initiative will be supported by an education programme.

Objective

"Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Europe with an expected increase of about 25% by 2035. A wide and unacceptable variability in terms of access to research, innovation and quality care exists between and within countries. Possible solutions are an increase in knowledge by funding research, and a more equitable transfer of what we already know to everyone. Comprehensive Cancer Centers and Comprehensive Cancer Care Networks may be the core of CCIs that deliver quality care and provide resources to improve and integrate care, research and education. Data already available confirm that the level of ""CCI maturity"" in Member States is widely different, from some countries lacking CCIs completely. A European initiative, implemented in all Member States, based on a capacity building programme (CBP), will help reduce inequalities, in the context of other actions ongoing, such as CRANE, JANE and UNCAN. CBP is a complex intervention that requires multiple and integrated actions delivered to all the relevant stakeholders. CBP will be designed with an inclusive approach, tailored to the baseline status, capable of creating a change and improvement in research and care, with greater integration between them, supported by an education programme. It will operate at various levels: Individuals, Institutions and Systems. The CSA will implement the following steps: define CCI Maturity Model including quality indicators; profile the CCIs in each MS and a few ACs in terms of CCI presence and levels of maturity; design tailored CBP interventions, giving priority to MSs without any CCI; deliver online training courses open to teams in all MSs and ACs, implement targeted onsite interventions; scale up and sustain development; disseminate, exploit and report results. The CSA will maximize impact by bridging with the work of ongoing EU cancer research projects. National focal points will be key informants in making the links between the CSA, the EC and MSs."
