Today marks the start of #EWAC2026, focused this year on the need to act together against cancer inequalities.
This message is closely connected to CO-CAPTAIN, a Horizon Europe project that works on more inclusive cancer prevention for people experiencing mental ill-health.
CO-CAPTAIN concludes its work towards more inclusive cancer prevention for people experiencing mental ill-health - KVELOCE
Funded by Horizon Europe and coordinated by the Medical University of Vienna, CO-CAPTAIN started in June 2023 with a clear objective: to design, implement and evaluate a Patient Navigation model tailored to people experiencing mental ill-health, in order to improve their access to cancer prevention and screening.

Inequalities directly affect cancer survival rates in Europe.

Last Friday, I was honoured to open DG SANTE's & HaDEA's webinar on tackling cancer inequalities, with #EU4Health projects showing how the #EUCancerPlan is making a difference on the ground.

A group of approximately 18 people pose for a photo in a conference room at the European Commission. They are arranged in two rows — five seated at a panel table in the foreground and the rest standing behind. A large display screen behind them shows a colourful presentation slide reading "Are we reducing cancer inequalities in Europe? How Europe's Beating Cancer Plan is making a difference, 22 May 2026," alongside the EWAC (European Week Against Cancer) logo. A European Commission roll-up banner and an EU flag are visible on the right side of the image. Marc Tachelet, HADEA, speaking at a podium during the European Commission event "Are we reducing cancer inequalities in Europe?" on 22 May 2026, with the EU flag and a European Code Against Cancer banner visible in the background.

On Day 2 of European Week Against Cancer, the focus is on the importance of early detection - finding cancer early when it can be easier to treat.

Screening can:
• prevent some cancers before they start
• find cancer at an early stage.

Tobacco remains the leading preventable cause of cancer in 🇪🇺, accounting for 27% of cases¹.
Quitting smoking is difficult but essential for #HealthyAgeing. It lowers cancer risk, enhances recovery & improves overall health.

Early detection saves lives, and access to screening should never depend on where you live.
Inequalities in access to prevention and early detection still exist across Europe. During #EWAC2026, we advocate for equitable access to screening for all, regardless of postcode.
