1 The cancer burden in the European Union and the European Region: the current situation and a way forward Presented by Zsuzsanna Jakab WHO Regional Director for Europe Informal Meeting of Health Ministers Brussels, Belgium, 4 5 July 2010
2 Added value of the European Union (EU) in cancer control The EU has experience in promoting joint initiatives; renewed leadership could give it the impulse needed really to make a difference in citizens lives.
3 Epidemiological situation of cancer in Europe Summary of main trends Cancer mortality accounts for nearly 20% of all deaths in the WHO European Region. After cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer is the second leading cause of death overall. Cancer is becoming the leading cause of premature death (before age 65) in many European countries (28 of the 53 in the Region). Although effective interventions exist, mortality from some forms of cancer is either increasing or remaining stable.
4 Epidemiological situation: lung cancer a special concern Lung cancer is the main cause of cancer deaths overall, followed by colon cancer, but breast cancer mortality is important among women. There is concern about rising trends in lung cancer mortality in EU-12 countries (those belonging to the EU before May 2004) and among women in the EU as a whole. Lung cancer mortality rates at regional level in the EU are higher in poorest areas (NUTS2 level nomenclature of territorial units for statistics level 2).
5 Epidemiological situation of cancer in Europe: incidence and survival An estimated 2.45 million new cancer cases occur in the EU every year. Incidence is increasing with ageing of the population. Increasing trends are particularly high in EU-12 countries, but data tend to be sparse. Five-year survival for breast, colon and cervical cancer is high (over 50%), and has improved, in contrast with that for lung cancer, which has remained low (around 10%).
6 Main causes of death in the EU EU EU EU EU Region Cardiovascular Cancers External causes Infectious disease Respiratory system Standardized SDR, mortality death by rate cause, (SDR) per by cause per population population

21 Integrated action plan on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) Population-wide health promotion to tackle the main NCD risk factors: Tobacco Poor diet Excessive alcohol intake Physical inactivity
22 Early detection Mammography Cervical cancer screening already introduced in all countries, although target populations and recommended frequency vary considerably Colorectal cancer screening introduced in only a few countries in the European Region
23 Cancer research across Europe Need for coordinated and comprehensive cancer registries across the EU, covering (a representative sample of) all populations Latest data on EU-wide cancer incidence and mortality are incomplete and outdated Thorough review of European directives on research and data protection
24 Regional leadership, technical excellence and synergistic collaboration among partners With political leadership from the EU and Member States, and technical leadership from WHO, cancer control can make real progress in the coming years.
