Welcome to the Oncoscreen Policymakers Portal
Driving Evidence-Based, Equitable, and Innovative Colorectal Cancer Screening Policy in Europe.
Welcome to the Policy Makers’ Portal of ONCOSCREEN — a European initiative committed to transforming colorectal cancer screening using evidence-based innovation, advanced diagnostics, and population-focused strategies.
This portal is designed to support public health authorities, cancer policymakers, screening program leaders, and regulators who aim to improve CRC screening outcomes and ensure fair access for all communities across Europe.
Why Colorectal Cancer Demands Policy Action
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Europe, yet early detection significantly increases survival rates. Despite this, screening participation varies widely across countries and populations.
ONCOSCREEN contributes evidence and solutions to help bridge these gaps through:
- Non-invasive, population-tailored screening technologies
- Stratified risk assessment models for targeted intervention
- Screening access analysis based on socio-economic, demographic, and geographic parameters
- Cost-effectiveness evaluations to support sustainable national screening programs
What ONCOSCREEN Offers to Policymakers
Access curated insights and summaries based on cutting-edge scientific findings and real-world screening data collected across numerous European countries.
Topics include:
- CRC screening coverage and inequalities
- Risk stratification and screening optimisation
- Technology adoption pathways
- Organisational models in different healthcare contexts
- Public awareness and participation strategies
- Screening program design models and decision-support frameworks
- Health-economic models comparing traditional vs. innovative screening strategies
- Recommendations for national and regional policy alignment with the EU’s Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and Mission on Cancer initiative
Receive curated technology assessments and evaluation findings for:
- Liquid biopsies
- Breath-based VOC screening
- NMR metabolomics
- CRISPR-based diagnostics
- AI-enhanced risk prediction tools
Focus on Equity & Target Populations
ONCOSCREEN identifies and elevates populations who are at greater risk of developing or dying from CRC:
- Males, older adults, people with overweight/obesity
- Individuals facing socio-economic barriers to screening participation
- Populations in rural or low-access regions
Our policy recommendations focus on reducing inequalities, scaling personalised strategies, and strengthening participation across all groups.
