The Innovative Partnership for Action Against Cancer (iPAAC) Joint Action brings together 24 Associated Partners (with Affiliated Entities, 44 partners) across Europe whose main objectives are to build upon deliverables of the CANCON Joint Action and to implement innovative approaches to cancer control. A Roadmap on Implementation and Sustainability of Cancer Control Actions to help EU Member States in the implementation of iPAAC and CANCON recommendations will be the main deliverable of this Joint Action.

The iPAAC’s Work Package 8 (WP8) is working on challenges in cancer care by defining strategies to improve the quality of cancer care by optimizing the use of healthcare resources and promoting realistic and evidence-based responses to exiting needs.
The iPAAC’s Work Package 10 (WP10) is working on governance of integrated and comprehensive cancer care by developing practical instruments for Member States for ensuring integrated and comprehensive oncological care that is tumour-specific and delivers high-quality care to all patients.
