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. 🎗️

Nice plan. But it turns blind eye to the biggest risk factor of cancer - biological age. Cancer is much more often in older people.

To really #BeatCancer, we need to prevent it by lowering biological age as much as possible. That needs research, that often is in pre-investable phase, so needs public money.

For supporting funding of that research, please request it from your government and sign the #DublinLongevityDeclaration 👇
