A mission-oriented approach to cancer in Europe: a joint mission/vision 2030.

By combining innovative prevention and treatment strategies in a sustainable state-of-the-art virtual European cancer centre/infrastructure, it will be possible by 2030 to achieve a long-term survival of 3 out of 4 cancer patients in countries with well-developed healthcare systems. Furthermore, the proposed concerted actions will pave the way to handling the economic and social inequalities in countries with less developed systems. These efforts will also ensure that in the long-run, science-driven and social innovations reach patients across the healthcare systems in Europe.
