Cancon Policy Paper on National Cancer Control Programmes (NCCPs)/ Cancer Documents in Europe

The present policy paper is a deliverable of the CanCon Joint Action Member State Platform Work Package. In this framework, an Expert Group on National Cancer Control Programmes was established with the task to carry out and analyse a survey regarding NCCPs in Europe in 2016 and to prepare a report and policy paper. The survey report identified the main shortcomings regarding NCCPs in Europe. Standards from the previously published European Guide for Quality National Cancer Control Programmes were used to identify these shortcomings. This policy paper and its recommendations are meant to serve as an aid for policymakers who wish to improve their cancer control policies.
