CROPS Policy brief Cancer mission

Year: 2026

Type: report

Abstract: Cancer impacts millions of European citizens, demanding systemic, multi-disciplinary, and socially inclusive solutions. Traditional clinical research often operates in silos, missing the lived experiences, grassroots insights, and localised health tracking that communities and patient advocacy groups can provide. By failing to integrate citizen science and public engagement effectively, public health authorities can miss opportunities to increase health literacy, improve data granularity regarding lifestyle and environmental risk factors, and foster true societal co-ownership in achieving the goals of the EU Mission on Cancer.
