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

EUROCHIP-2 IS BASED ON THE RESULTS OF EUROCHIP-1 EUROCHIP-1: a public health project with meetings of 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

The area of the disk is proportional to the Total National Health Expenditure ($ PPP) in the country $ PPP: Parity Purchasing Power per capita (US $) Sources: OECD 2002 for GDP and TNEH; EUROCARE-3 for survival Gross Domestic Product (1997) and 5-year- age- and cancer site- adjusted relative survival (women)

Main Public Health Strategies in Europe Wealthy areas: Primary Prevention, management of queues Less wealthy areas: Treatment and investment All: focus on the elderly

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 quality and promote c) To check data quality and promote standardisation standardisation European health data d) To develop a European health data bank bank EUROCHIP-2

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