Joint Action CanCon

CanCon (European Guide on Quality Improvement in Comprehensive Cancer Control) is a joint action initiative, co-funded by participating organisations, institutes, universities and health care units, and the European Union.

CanCon aims to contribute in different ways to reducing the cancer burden in the EU. It will help raise cancer survival and reduce cancer mortality by:

  • improving the quality of cancer care among member states;
  • improving the quality of life of cancer patients and survivors with proposals on survivorship;
  • ensuring reintegration and palliative care and a decrease in inequalities at various levels of the cancer control field.

These key elements will be combined with other relevant aspects of cancer control to create a European Guide on Quality Improvement in Comprehensive Cancer Control.
