Cancon Guide - Improving cancer control
Cancon Guide is the main delivery of the joint action. The quality improvement of cancer care is at the heart of Guide. Cancon is officially titled European Guide on Quality Improvement in Comprehensive Cancer Control.
The Guide aims to help to reduce not only the cancer burden throughout the EU but also the inequalities in cancer control and care that exist between Member states. The Guide is meant for governments, parliamentarians, health care providers and funders, and cancer care professionals at every level.
In addition to the Guide, five Cancon Policy papers and briefs position cancer control into planning processes of the Member states.
Cancon Guide
The Guide is a coherent, patientcentered document and a key strategic tool for governments and policy makers. The good practice recommendations in the Guide strive to improve the national situations.

The Guide is the result of a three-year effort by top cancer experts in 25 countries and 126 partner organisations.
