This European implementation assessment (EIA) aims to inform the ongoing work of the European Parliament's Committee on Public Health (SANT) on its own-initiative implementation report (2025/2139(INI)) on Europe's Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP). The assessment is composed of two parts. The first part is an introduction by the European Parliamentary Research Service that focuses on Parliament's role in cancer control action plans and cancer policies. It also describes the structure, governance framework and funding mechanisms of the EBCP. The second part of this EIA is a study undertaken by a team of external experts that assesses the implementation of the EBCP across all EU Member States between 2021 and 2024. The analysis focuses on three core areas: (i) gaps and delays in implementation of the EBCP, particularly in prevention, cancer care, and quality of life; (ii) the EBCP's impact on cancer inequalities across the EU; and (iii) lessons learned and their applicability to future EU initiatives on non-communicable diseases. Drawing on desk research, stakeholder interviews, and eight country case studies, the study identifies key challenges and opportunities for strengthening EU health governance. It concludes with a set of recommendations to improve coordination, embed equity, and ensure sustainable progress in cancer prevention and control. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
