Introduction
Cancer affects everyone regardless of age, gender or social status and represents a tremendous burden for patients, families, and societies at large.
By joining efforts across Europe, the Mission on Cancer together with the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan will provide a better understanding of cancer, allow for earlier diagnosis and optimise treatment and improve cancer patients’ quality of life during and beyond their cancer treatment.
The Mission on Cancer has set the ambitious overall goal, to be jointly achieved with the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, of improving the lives of more than 3 million people by 2030, through prevention, cure and for those affected by cancer including their families, to live longer and better.

The Mission on Cancer is an integral part of the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. Both initiatives were developed in close co-ordination. Several of the mission proposed activities, namely the UNCAN.eu initiative, a network of Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructures, the Cancer Patient Digital Centre, screening guidelines, and the Childhood Cancer initiative will support the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and thus creating a seamless link between R&I and policies.
Other synergies:
| 1. Understanding | 2. Prevention | 3-4. Screening, early diagnosis, treatment and quality of life | initiatives considered as more general ‘enablers’ |
