The proposals in this topic may involve work in one or two streams:

Applicants shall target their proposal to one or both of the action subtopics (a, b) described below and indicate that clearly in the proposal.

Sub-topic (a): ‘Cancer Diagnostic and Treatment for All’ initiative: It will use the ‘next generation sequencing’ technology for a quick and efficient application of personalised cancer diagnosis and treatment. The action will scale up the already available results in genetic profiling of patients and tumour cells allowing cancer centres to share such cancer profiles with a view to apply the same or similar diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to patients with comparable cancer profiles across the Union.

Sub-topic (b): ‘Genomic for Public Health’ project: which is expected, to scale up the ‘1+ Million Genome Initiative’ results, to translate them into implementable public health measures to address cancer prevention on the basis of specific individual genetic profiles, which indicates the susceptibility of individuals to develop a certain type of cancer. Therefore, the project will open new perspectives to personalised risk-assessment and targeted cancer prevention.

This action supports the implementation of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan objective to ensure high standards in cancer care and implements the EU4Health Programme’s general objective of improving and fostering health in the Union (Article 3, point (a)) through the specific objectives defined in Article 4, points (a) and (g) of Regulation (EU) 2021/522).
