Making Sense of Cancer: A Journalist's Guide was finalised. The Guide arose from the experiences of the Media Training session, which took place with journalists from across the EU, at the Open Forum in Rome in June 2012. The Guide provides a concise overview of various issues dealing with cancer reporting.
Please feel free to distribute this guide through your media contacts and networks.

The National Institute of Public Health and Ministry of Health of the Republic of Slovenia organized the final EPAAC Open Forum, on 26 and 27 November 2013 in Ljubljana. Around 200 domestic and foreign professionals, politicians and patient representatives joined the meeting that was well followed also via the Internet live stream. Cancer represents a continuously increasing public health challenge. As forecasts show, in the future every third EU citizen will be diagnosed with cancer and every forth will die because of it. For that reason, professionals discussed National Cancer Plans and Screening and Early Diagnosis on European as well as national level.

This new book explores some of the innovative strategies being deployed against cancer in Europe and how international collaboration has assisted in combating the cancer burden. It is a product of the European Partnership for Action Against Cancer (EPAAC) and it highlights some outstanding examples of how cooperation between national and international entities as well as policy-oriented innovation are contributing to the collective effort to control cancer. With a rising cancer burden in EU Member States over the last 30 years this is an important and timely call to arms.
