ABSTRACT

Comprehensive Cancer Centers (CCCs) are at the forefront of cancer research, treatment, and education. Their multidisciplinary approach ensures that patients benefit from the latest scientific advancements, from early detection to innovative treatments and post-treatment care. The establishment of the European Comprehensive Cancer Centre (EUCCC) network represents a harmonized and integrated approach to cancer care across the continent. This initiative is rooted in the principles of excellence and collaboration.

The primary objective of the EU CCC network is to create a cohesive and integrated consortium of CCCs across Europe to ensure that all patients, regardless of their location, have access to high-quality care. This network will also serve as a platform for collaboration, allowing centres to share best practices, resources, and knowledge. Such collaboration is essential in promoting research, integrating the latest findings into clinical care, and ensuring that patients benefit from the most effective treatments available.

The network will facilitate the adoption of quality diagnostic and treatment methods, including training, research, and clinical trials across the EU. It should contribute to:
(a) reducing inequalities of diagnosis, treatment, and care, and access to clinical trials;
(b) strengthening the quality of outcomes research;
(c) integrating clinical care and research and evaluating the quality of cancer care throughout.

This European collaboration will improve patients’ access to high-quality diagnostics, care, and innovative treatments.
