ECHoS aims to support the implementation of the Cancer Mission activities in all Member States and Associated Countries (MS/AC) by supporting the establishment and development of Cancer Mission Hubs operating at national, regional, and local levels. These will integrate a future EU Network of NCMHs, in a cohesive manner, aligned with the Cancer Mission and EBCP. It will engage with stakeholders across the entire cancer landscape, from individual citizens to European Institutions, as well as national authorities, regulators, industry, patient organisations, and academia.
ECHoS broad scope seeks to take cancer-policy dialogues beyond research and innovation, and health systems, covering also other relevant areas in cancer control and support, such as employment, education, and socioeconomic aspects. To guarantee alignment and progress in the field of cancer, ECHoS will be guided by impacting subareas of Cancer Mission – namely prevention, early detection and treatment, quality of Life and survivorship – as well as equity, sustainability, and cross-cutting EU priorities such as social engagement and digital health.
