Inequalities influence who develops #cancer, when/if it's diagnosed, treatment, & chances of survival.
They exist between & within countries.
Whether someone survives cancer shouldn't depend on where they live!
The EUCan-Ineq project is researching this.

Quitting smoking is a crucial step for your future and health. It decreases the risk of cancer returning, boosts recovery, and improves overall well-being.

The tobacco and nicotine industry preys on youth. We fight back with #truth.
🌀 Sleek packaging, colourful vaping devices, fruity flavours—it’s all part of a strategy to hook young users early.
Marketing to youth isn’t #innovation. It’s manipulation.

Really welcome the spotlight @CancerPatientsE has put on cancer inequalities this #EWAC2025.
Their call to action covers a lot of important ground - esp glad to see smoking cessation included.
Tackling tobacco use means support, not stigma. It’s such a key part of #lungcancer prevention. #LCSM #WorldNoTobaccoDay
As #EWAC2025 draws to a close, we focus on smoking cessation as a key step toward a cancer-free environment.
Creating a smoke-free Europe is possible — with bold policy and strong public health commitment.

3. Improved symptom management

1 in 4 people in the WHO European Region are at risk of developing #cancer—yet harmful industries keep opposing life-saving policies.
We need policies that empower people to make healthy choices to help prevent cancer!
