World Cancer Day 2025 Home To mark World Cancer Day, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is launching a new website for the EU-CanIneq project, a European Union (EU) initiative dedicated to reducing socioeconomic inequalities in cancer across Europe. Funded by the European Commission in collaboration with Erasmus MC (in the Netherlands), EU-CanIneq supports the European Cancer Inequalities Registry by coordinating a research and data framework to develop and expand indicators of socioeconomic inequalities in cancer mortality. The project also aims to analyse and map socioeconomic inequalities in cancer mortality across European countries and geographical areas. The project will feature country-specific reports and other resources, offering tailored guidance to national cancer control programmes to improve resource allocation and address key challenges.
