The European Cancer Pulse country report on Ireland launched this week at the #EuroAmericanCancerForum2024 in Dublin. It shows that our #screening rates for breast, cervical and bowel cancer are well above the OECD average. The EU goal is that 90% of eligible populations will be offered screening by 2025. Our latest programme reports give more details on screening invitations, coverage and uptake rates and screening outcomes.

One simple vaccine can prevent 6+ different cancers caused by the human papilloma virus #HPV. Too many countries are not doing enough to protect their citizens. Effective advocacy can change that. Our new guide shows what has already been achieved by advocacy and how civil society organisations can make a difference. We need to urge EU Member States to make the vaccine more accessible to all boys and girls, especially those 9 to 14 years old, when the vaccine is most effective. Together, we can do better!
