As an integral part of the Horizon Europe Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2021- 2027), a set of European Research and Innovation Missions aim to deliver solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing Europe. Cancer is one of these challenges. This Mission outline explains how a mission-driven approach can save and improve the lives of millions of European citizens exposed to cancer and its risk factors. It sets out the goal of the Mission on Cancer and makes recommendations on how to achieve this goal.
