🛠️ Building a Framework to Tackle Cancer Disparities in Europe Denis Horgan, Executive Director of the European Alliance for Personalized Medicine, shared key insights at the BEACON CANCER CARE Meeting in Warsaw on creating a cohesive framework to address cancer disparities across Europe. He emphasized the importance of aligning various regulatory frameworks, such as the European Health Data Space and the Clinical Trials Regulation, to improve patient care and ensure that diagnostics, treatments, and care delivery are accessible to all patients, regardless of their location. 🎥https://lnkd.in/dbZgBw7z #PersonalizedMedicine #CancerCare #HealthcareRegulation #BEACON2024 #EU4Health #EUCancerPlan Roberto Grasso Denis Horgan, Ph.D Beata Jagielska Prof. Iwona Lugowska, MD, PhD Marc Van den Bulcke Tit Albreht Philip Gribbon Anton Ussi Benjamin Gannon Salvatore Provenzano Alejandro Piris Giménez Pawel Sobczuk Anabela Isidro Hugo R.

🌟 Sharing her insights into cutting-edge Swedish technology development, Dr. Heidi Stensmyren, MD MBA, Chief Medical Officer at Cellcolabs and former President of the World Medical Association, participated in a panel discussion at last week’s WISH Qatar summit. 🌍✨ The panel “Investing in Women’s Cancer Care” addressed the critical challenge of ensuring equitable access to early cancer detection and comprehensive care. 🩺 Dr. Stensmyren emphasized the game-changing power of investing in prevention, early diagnosis, and coordinated care - all pivotal steps towards improving cancer outcomes. 🩻 Let’s unite to make a real difference in the fight against cancer. 💪🌍 #WomensHealth #CancerCare #WISH7 #GlobalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #SwedenInQatar

What an exciting day in Brussels! 😊 📲 smartCARE, the innovative European Project is presenting today an interactive app testing lab. The Cancer Survivor Smart Card prototype gathers unique features that enable access to remote medical advice ,consultations and reliable cancer-related information. 👐 📩 Moreover, the Cancer Survivor Smart Card acts as a platform that reunites the community; as it provides a space for sharing experiences, stories and offering support! 🔗https://shorturl.at/RvU1A  #EUsmartCARE #EUCancerPlan #EU4Health   European Cancer Organisation European Commission PanCare Bilbomática Childhood Cancer International - Europe European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA)

FHIR is already instrumental in stopping the 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘺𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱* 🖨️ In the Netherlands alone we're spending probably 200FTE on manually retyping data from the EHR into the formats required for different (quality) registries. 🧩 A unified format, that most healthcare providers are already implementing anyway, will lower the barrier of data delivery and opens the door for higher quality data and realtime insights.

We’re proud to announce the release of a new #supplement to Archives of Public Health: “Coming together to fight #cancer: a series of policy briefs taking stock of the implementation of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (#EBCP) in Belgium.” Developed by experts from Sciensano’s Cancer Centre and Belgium’s EBCP Mirror Group, this supplement provides a detailed overview of #progress, #gaps, and actionable solutions in cancer #care and control in Belgium. 💡 Key topics include: 📌 #Prevention, early #detection, and #screening 📌 Cancer survivorship 📌 #AI in care 📌 Cancer in children and young adults 📌 #Research and citizen #engagement 🔍 While Belgium has achieved significant milestones through the EBCP, several gaps remain, which are addressed in this publication. This resource is a must-read for #policymakers, #healthcare professionals, and researchers dedicated to advancing cancer care in Europe. 🔗 Explore the full supplement and join the discussion: https://lnkd.in/etbfmY8E We extend our gratitude to the Sciensano colleagues who led the development of these policy briefs and to the partners from the EBCP Mirror Group who contributed their expertise.

🔬 We need to do research today to find tomorrow’s solutions. Colorectal cancer cases are on the rise, particularly after the age of 50, but we’re also seeing an alarming increase among younger individuals. Early detection is critical to improving survival rates and preventing the onset of cancer. That’s where the FLAME project comes in. By utilizing advanced technologies, FLAME detects inflammation and dysbiosis in the colon through non-invasive blood and stool samples. This is crucial, as having the right tools to catch the "flame" early—much like spotting the heat of a match before it burns your finger—can lead to timely interventions. More sensitive and specific tests are needed to identify pre-lesions that could be addressed through lifestyle changes or further analyzed for deeper insights. Let’s push forward in our research to create these life-saving solutions. Patient samples were collected successfully and the first batch of samples were fully analysed. Other project proposals are submitted aiming to implement research in the community. Keep tuned. The FLAME project is financed by ALIVE Foundation through the Research and Innovation Development Trust at the University of Malta. #CancerResearch #ColorectalCancer #EarlyDetection #FLAMEProject #HealthcareInnovation #PreventiveMedicine

💬 Our abstract (Real-World Evidence Study of Patients With NSCLC in Finland: Use of Machine Learning Algorithm to Extract Smoking Status From Patient Texts and Analysis of Resource Use and Survival by Smoking Status) has been accepted to ISPOR Europe 2024! 🌎   💡 In our poster we present results from our ongoing study on the effect of smoking status in non-small cell lung cancer in Finland.  This study was conducted by researchers from HUS, The Wellbeing Services County of Kymenlaakso and Medaffcon.   🤝 Join us at the poster on November 19th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. to meet Riikka Mattila and Johanna Vikkula, and discuss lung cancer, Nordic health data, and exciting #RWE opportunities in Finland.   ➡️ Please come, meet  and disscuss with us at #ISPOREurope! ➡️ Check here more: https://lnkd.in/da4NpjY2   Read more about #Medaffcon: https://lnkd.in/d69-SFXi   #Smoking #MachineLearning #lungcancer

The President's Cancer Panel, which oversees the #NationalCancerPlan, has released a report exploring the most effective ways to achieve Cancer Care equity through technology. It concludes that “tech, when responsibly used, holds promise to extend the reach of navigation resources to empower patients and enable navigators and other care team members to work more efficiently so they can focus on the most important part of their jobs—directly caring for their patients.” As the appetite for digital rockets and the market adjusts to create fertile ground for adoption, ensuring technology addresses key issues the Cancer sector faces is crucial for success. Built correctly and with intimate knowledge of clinical teams' needs, technology can augment their care and help to triage resources for those who need them most, regardless of geography. Careology is already built to enhance patient navigation with its technology and already improving equity in Cancer Care across the country - in line with the President's Cancer Panel’s report.

📣 We are excited to share our latest study titled “Patients’ perspectives on cancer care disparities in Central and Eastern European countries: experiencing taboos, misinformation, and barriers in the healthcare system.” This research delves into the experiences of cancer patients in Slovakia and Croatia, shedding light on the disparities and challenges they face in accessing comprehensive cancer care. Through focus group discussions, we've identified key barriers, such as lack of information, cultural taboos, and socioeconomic impacts, that need urgent attention. Our findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and better resource allocation to promote inclusive healthcare across Central and Eastern Europe. 🔗 Read the paper 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZjx6rDT #CancerCare #HealthcareInnovation #BEACONProject #EU4Health #EUCancerPlan #CancerDisparities
