Everyone has a story about cancer.

A parent.
A friend.
A loved one.

In 2024 alone, there were 2.7 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 1.3 million cancer-related deaths.

This is why prevention, early detection, care, and research matter, and why we have invested €2.7 billion here.

Today, on World Cancer Day, we mark 5 years of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.

We are investing and working with hundreds of partners to build a healthier Europe. 🎗️
