As one of the 10 flagships of Europe's Beating Cancer Plan, the European Cancer Inequalities Registry process aims to identify trends, disparities and inequalities between Member States and regions. It helps Member States to identify respective gaps and shortcomings in cancer care and prevention, thus guiding targeted investments and interventions at EU, national and regional level. The Registry process was launched in February 2022 with its first milestone, the ECIR Data Tool, which allows users to explore cancer inequality indicators in an interactive way.
The Registry also provides a reporting cycle of Country Cancer Profiles and Analytical EU reports, which highlight disparities, challenges and achievements in cancer prevention and care across the EU.
The new IARC factsheets complement these key deliverables by providing new insight on inequalities in cancer mortality by education level for the EU 27, Norway and Iceland. The objective of this meeting is to present the key findings and discuss their impact for policy at national level.
