Learning From Progress Addressing Cancer in Europe (OBS-PACE)
With Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP), the European Commission follows a new approach to cancer prevention, treatment and care. The action ‘OBS-Learning From Progress In Addressing Cancer In Europe’ (OBS-PACE) contributes to this by improving the understanding of the national cancer control situation and policy actions in EU Member States.
Case Studies
OBS-PACE is collecting case studies of innovative actions in cancer research, care, and policy across the cancer care pathway. The case studies mirror the implementation of the EBCP at the national and regional level and can inform new actions to better tackle cancer across Europe. Each case study describes the objective of the new action, its implementation, including enablers and barriers, and its outcomes at the health system level.
Use the filter and search functions to select case studies based on specific criteria, such as country, EBCP dimension, or sort the case studies chronologically or alphabetically. You can also type and search by keyword.
