Overview

As a new initiative under the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme (2021 – 27), the European Union (EU) Cancer Mission aims to improve the lives of more than 3 million people by 2030 through better prevention, cure, and quality of life for individuals and families affected by cancer. Together with Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, the EU Cancer Mission represents the European Commission’s response to addressing the increasing cancer burden, which poses a growing societal challenge.
