Cancer in a Changing Global Landscape: Challenges & Commitments
19 & 20 November 2025 - Brussels & online

Dear colleagues,
‘If there is one thing that unites us all, it’s the desire to reduce the pain and suffering of cancer.’ But the relentless work of our community needs to be supported by an effective cancer policy.
Every year, the European Cancer Summit gathers the brightest minds in cancer care to identify how we can do more – and do better. In a challenging political climate, your participation and unique perspective as a healthcare professional, patient advocate or policymaker is indispensable.
Watch Prof. Csaba Dégi, president of the European Cancer Organisation, explain the importance of this year’s Summit.

And don’t miss a keynote session with the EU Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare, Olivér Várhelyi.

Session Spotlight
Breaking Barriers: Confronting Bias, Seen and Unseen, in Cancer Care

Cancer does not affect everyone equally. This session explores how gender and sexual identity influence cancer risks, treatment access, and disease outcomes for women and LGBTIQ individuals who continue facing unique barriers rooted in inequality. Drawing on insights from ECO’s work on Women and Cancer and the LGBTIQ Community Survey, this session will discuss the urgent need for inclusive, equitable, and bias-free cancer care across Europe.
Hear from leading voices shaping the future of equitable cancer policy, including Emma Rafowicz MEP, Isabelle Soerjomataram, Deputy Head of IARC’s Cancer Surveillance Branch.
The session is organised by ECO’s Inequalities Network and will take place on Wednesday, 19 November from 09:15 to 10:30 CET.

We’ve got more!

Don’t miss the Spotlight Sessions and Side Meetings happening just outside the Main Hall. Here’s just some of what we have in store:

Investing for Impact – taking EU cancer policy to the next level
Hepatitis & Liver Cancer – challenges and action
What does cancer care look like in rural Europe?

FULL PROGRAMME

See you on 19 and 20 November – in Brussels and online.
And continue the conversation on European cancer action at the ECHoS Town Hall Meeting, one day after the Summit, on Friday 21 November, at the same venue.
With best wishes,
The European Cancer Summit Team
