He continues,"We estimate that approximately one million cancer diagnoses were missed across Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are in a race against time to find those missing cancers. Additionally, we saw a chilling effect on cancer research with laboratories shut down and clinical trials delayed or canceled in the first pandemic wave.
An additional danger is that industry might consider it too high risk to run cancer clinical research in countries bordering Ukraine—loss of private sector investment would be hugely damaging to cancer research in central and eastern Europe.
"UK cancer research in the post-Brexit world stands at a crossroads where strategic decisions will determine whether we continue to thrive and partner internationally or whether isolationism will reduce our world standing," says Professor Richard Sullivan, co-lead for the Commission and Professor of Cancer & Global Health at Institute of Cancer Policy, King's College London.
"It is estimated that 40% of cancers in Europe could be prevented if primary prevention strategies made better use of our current understanding of cancer risk factors. There are already evidence-based and cost-effective cancer preventive interventions available, and we want to see more effective implementation and communication of these across Europe.

COVID-19 mRNA boosters induce robust but non-durable immune response in the elderlyA study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology describes that the third booster dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) effectively induces an immune response against immunologically more fit variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, the immunity induced by the booster vaccination is transient and gradually declines over time.
