The European Cancer Summit 2025 will unite the cancer community for an exceptional edition, fit for exceptional times.
The Summit this year will focus on the urgent need to secure sustained political and financial support for cancer as a health and societal priority. This multistakeholder forum provides a unique setting for healthcare professionals, patients and policymakers to tackle challenges from every perspective and work together towards developing solutions and uncovering opportunities.
This year’s theme will underpin each session, shaped by the work of the European Cancer Organisation (ECO) and its nine Focused Topic Networks:
Cancer in a Changing Global Landscape: Cancer care and research are being reshaped by global instability and shrinking support for international cooperation, creating far-reaching challenges for Europe and beyond.
Challenges & Commitments: As the political agenda of the European Union shifts to address geopolitical challenges, the cancer community must rally – drawing strength from the achievements of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the Cancer Mission – to ensure quality cancer care remains health priority but also a pillar of resilience, innovation, and strategic autonomy.
This year’s European Cancer Summit will be chaired by:
- Kathy Oliver, Co-Chair, Patient Advisory Committee, European Cancer Organisation
- Nicolò Battisti, Co-Chair, Inequalities Network, European Cancer Organisation
