CanScreen-ECIS : Strengthening Cancer Screening data collection to update European Cancer Information System and improve quality and coverage of cancer screening programmes in Europe

Work Programme : EU4Health

Type of Action : EU4H-PJG EU4H Project Grants

Budget €2.767.051,03 

Project duration : 01 September 2022 - 31 March 2023 (18 months)

Lead Coordinator : IARC, co-leader : ECL

Website: under construction

Contact : Be_EBCP@sciensano.be, Marc Arbyn

Domain / Area : Screening

Main objectives

This action supports the linking of data provided by the cancer screening programmes into ECIS with a view to allowing the permanent monitoring of the screening programmes, including the performance indicators. The action will consist in the collection of data from entities in the Member States that are responsible for collecting data on cancer screening, in order to provide this data to ECIS, and develop a piloting of the new ECIS functionality as well as a new separate section to ensure a permanent collection and monitoring of the coverage and performance indicators of population-based cancer screening across the Union.
