ECPC Welcomes MEPs call to make Cancer a Priority

The European Cancer Patients Coalition (ECPC) has welcomed a call for action endorsed by MEPs Against Cancer (MAC) at their first conference held at 22 March 06 in the European Parliament in Brussels, which was attended by EU Commissioner for Health, Markos Kyprianou.

The statement called for a Cancer Task Force to be set up at a European level to galvanise the fight against cancer, and called on national Health ministers to take a number of urgent steps to improve cancer prevention, screening and treatment, and reduce glaring inequalities in mortality from cancer across Europe.
