EUROCHIP-2 the action Health Indicators for Monitoring Cancer in Europe Public Health Program EUROPEAN COMMISSION: HEALTH & CONSUMER PROTECTION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL

EUROCHIP-2 IS BASED ON THE RESULTS OF EUROCHIP-1 EUROCHIP-1: a unique public health project, meetings of uniquely large international consensus on the necessary information describing cancer and measures against cancer Aims: to produce a list of Cancer Health Indicators to help develop European Health Data Bank to reduce inequalities in cancer control

PREVENTION (indicators in ECHI list are underlined) Consumption of fruit and vegetables Consumption of alcohol Body Mass Index distribution in the population Distribution of indicators on physical activity in the population Prevalence of tobacco consumption Exposure to sun radiation Prevalence of occupational exposure to carcinogens (CAREX)

% of radiation equipment on population % of diagnostic Computed Axial Tomography (CTS) in the population % of patients receiving palliative radiotherapy Delay of cancer treatment: pilot studies Compliance with best oncology practice CARE & TREATMENT (suggestions for ECHI list)

Anti- tobacco regulations Estimated cost for a cancer patient Total Public Expenditure on Health Gross Domestic Product SOCIAL AND MACRO-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS (indicators in ECHI list are underlined)

SCREENING (indicators in ECHI list are underlined) Organised screening coverage % of women who underwent a mammography % of women who underwent a cervical cytology examination % of people who underwent a colorectal cancer screening test

EUROCHIP-2: a European team-work for action and a bridge between research and health authorities EUROCHIP-2: a European team-work for action and a bridge between research and health authorities

What’s needed? cancer data sources a) To liase with cancer data sources b) To encourage the set-up of data areas where information collection in areas where information is unavailable is unavailable c) To check data quality and promote standardisation d) To develop a European health data bank EUROCHIP-2

What must be done? a) Analysis of indicators’ behaviour b) Identification of deficiencies and differences in Europe taking into account health politics EUROCHIP-2 IN ORDER TO Support actions to reduce inequalities in cancer control

- The EUROCHIP-1 Network - The European Imprimatur - A Process Approach who by? under which umbrella? through which phases? - The EUROCHIP-1 Network - The European Imprimatur - A Process Approach EUROCHIP-2

Ex. of health indicator: Breast cancer screening population coverage EUROCHIP-2: PROCESS APPROACH

Example of health indicator: Computed Tomography Scanners EUROCHIP-2 : PROCESS APPROACH

Comparison of the indicators in Finland and Denmark

Also takes into account the relation between cancer and other chronic diseases EUROCHIP-2

Improvement in CVD and cancer treatment Life expectancy increased Number of cancer cases is increasing Inflation of prevalent cases NEEDS NEEDS: Actions in primary prevention Long term: reduction of cases Short term Short term: assistance, palliative care, and hospices

BMI Smoking Alcohol Diet …. Hospices Home assistance Palliative care Health facilities required to manage a wide range of chronic and degenerative diseases are similar so that resources and in particular information resources can be shared Rehabilitation

Population covered by cancer registry Incidence Incidence rates, trends and projections urvival Survival rates, trends and projections revalence Prevalence prop., trends and projections ortality Mortality rates, trends, projections and person-years life lost due to cancer Stage at diagnosis: % of cases with early diagnosis and % who underwent a metastatic test CANCER REGISTRATION & EPIDEMIOLOGY
