Mashup Score: 18Accelerating progress on EU cancer control - 3 month(s) ago
In the EU, cancer remains a leading cause of death accounting for one in four of all deaths, and is a major contributor to disability in many EU countries.1,2 Driven mostly by ageing populations, and the age-specific and sex-specific effects of smoking and obesity, the annual absolute number of new cancer cases is projected to increase from 3·9 million in 2018 to 4·7 million by 2040.2 About half of new cancer cases are breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers. However, beyond the increasing incidence rates, the EU is facing challenges across the cancer continuum—from prevention to survivorship—that continue to contribute to a high burden of cancer and suboptimal cancer control.

Mashup Score: 8The need for pragmatic, affordable, and practice-changing real-life clinical trials in oncology - 3 month(s) ago
Thanks to technological advances and improved understanding of cancer biology, clinical research in oncology has become increasingly complex. Trials testing novel interventions are subject to restrictive inclusion criteria, growing infrastructure required for molecular testing or safe delivery of complex biotherapeutics and administrative burden of regulatory requirements for approval of novel therapeutics, and prohibitive costs. Many trials test strategies that cannot be optimally implemented in diverse real-world settings due to technological or funding issues.

Mashup Score: 8
10 years ago, the Stop Cancer Now! appeal (panel 1) was launched,1 urging world leaders to intervene and stem the rapid increase in death and suffering due to cancer that was predicted to occur, especially for low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The appeal did not ask for discovery or rocket science, it just asked leaders to take responsibility and act on ten proven interventions. That appeal represented the outcome of the first World Oncology Forum, a gathering of 100 leading international experts that had been convened by the European School of Oncology in Lugano, Switzerland, in 2012, to consider the question “Are we winning the war against cancer?”.
