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.
Overview
The action ‘OBS-Learning From Progress In Addressing Cancer In Europe’ (OBS-PACE) looks at the implementation of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP) across all of its dimensions—prevention, early detection & diagnostics, cancer care, quality of life, research & innovation, digital solutions, reducing inequalities, and childhood cancer.
It draws out innovative practices, health systems blocks, and enablers across the whole spectrum of cancer research, care, and policies in EU countries.
The project has at its core a network of national cancer experts across all EU countries, who provide case studies on actions tackling cancer along the EBCP.
Through qualitative analyses, OBS-PACE provides a better understanding of the national cancer control situation in EU countries.
These learnings contribute to the European Cancer Inequalities Registry with essential qualitative and contextual health systems information.
The OBS-PACE project is a joint undertaking of the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies and the EU’s Directorate General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE).
