The EU can make a meaningful difference in the fight against childhood cancer. How? 🎗️Collecting big data 🎗️Boosting research 🎗️Incentivising companies to invest in paediatric medicines 🎗️ Jointly purchasing life-saving cancer drugs Together #EUCanBeatCancer @fourlasloucas

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, an opportunity to shed light on families facing this terrible disease and their needs. Our MEPs are turning ‘gold’ to show their support and commitment to this cause. #EUCanBeatCancer #GoldSeptember Susana Solís

Every 15 minutes in Europe, a family receives the devastating news that their child has cancer. We support #GoldSeptember to raise awareness of their needs and drive change at EU level. 👉Funding research 👉Supporting more clinical trials 👉Ending inequalities #EUCanBeatCancer

Cancer doesn’t care about your age; it destroys lives before they have even had the chance to be lived. One of our top priorities in the fight against paediatric cancer is getting appropriate funding to develop new innovations. Research can save lives! #EUCanBeatCancer

Some rare cancers mostly affecting children need more research to offer the best treatment. We need to ensure that the best available treatment is accessible and affordable for everyone in Europe. ❗ Receiving good cancer treatment can’t depend on postcodes! #EUCanBeatCancer

🎗️Złoty Wrzesień to coroczna akcja społeczna, której celem jest zwiększenie świadomości na temat dziecięcych chorób nowotworowych. To niezwykle ważne, abyśmy wspólnie zwracali uwagę na potrzeby dzieci walczących z rakiem oraz ich rodzin 🧡 #GoldSeptember #EUCanBeatCancer

☀️You might not remember all your sunbathing, but your skin does. So, let's shield it. 😎Use sunscreen, wear protective gear and seek shade whenever possible. ⌚️Reschedule your leisure activities away from midday. It matters. Save lives and lots of suffering. #EUCanBeatCancer

👩‍⚕️Europe relies heavily on third countries for key source materials and specific processing operations Let's beat cancer by beating dependencies! Read more Article by Rapporteur Alena Mastantuono: europa.eu/!Rc8qHr Opinion: europa.eu/!F3x83w #EWAC2024 #EUCanBeatCancer

Once the cancer battle is over, we can't continue burdening survivors. Insurance companies or banks should not deny cancer survivors access to financial services like mortgages or ask for additional and higher premiums. #EUCanBeatCancer #EuropeProtects

The EU is of clear added value by incentivising pharmaceutical companies to invest in child-specific drugs for rare types of cancer. Multinational clinical trials must make research easier, faster and more accessible. #EUCanBeatCancer #EuropeProtects

We call for a moderate labelling strategy for products linked to health risks, including cancer. Mandatory indication of ingredients, nutrition declarations and health warnings should be introduced. #EUCanBeatCancer #EuropeProtects

Cancer survivors continue to live with physical and psychological symptoms associated with pain. The European Commission should provide a platform for exchanging best practices in palliative care and support research in this area. #EUCanBeatCancer #EuropeProtects

Cancer knows no social status and borders. However, cancer patients in Eastern Europe have a 30% less chance of recovering than patients in Western Europe. We must work together to help every patient, no matter where they live. #EUCanBeatCancer #EuropeProtects

Currently, there are major obstacles to accessing cross-border healthcare in the EU. If the cancer patient’s care provider has been authorised in their home country, no additional prior authorisation should be necessary in their country of residence. #EUCanBeatCancer
