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.
