Summary
Under the EU-USA collaboration on cancer, two technical working groups have been established, one focusing on paediatric cancer and the other on lung cancer. Each technical working group is progressing in defining a demonstration project, aiming at enhancing the EU-USA cooperation in paediatric and lung cancer domains.
The EU-USA cooperation on lung cancer aims to start a joint cohort modelling, to assess geographical distribution of tobacco prevalence and lung cancer burden, and to assess potential effects of lung cancer screening on mortality, based on different eligibility criteria for screening.
Detailed Call Description
Through the collection of data with a harmonised methodology, the joint demonstration project on lung cancer will contribute to foster a uniform use and interpretation of data across EU and US involved participants on lung cancer screening. Considering the need for more and better data to identify and target higher risk lung cancer profiles, such as heavy smokers/ex-smokers, the aggregated results of the investigation have the objective to contribute in advancing the use and re-use of health data for research and innovation in lung cancer primary and secondary prevention policies.
Specific action-level indicators for reporting purposes:
- number of meeting minutes of online working group calls or meetings outlining state of play, progress and next steps;
- number of submitted article based on the project results for publication in scientific outlets or conferences;
- number of regular technical meetings with Commission staff in the lead up to the meetings with the EU and US leadership;
- number of meetings with EU and US leadership on progress of the work;
- number of meeting minutes and conclusions of project final meeting.
