description

Highlights • National Cancer Control Programmes (NCCPs) are key elements in cancer control. • NCCPs’ role in national cancer policies of EU countries has grown significantly. • Few quantitative assessments are available to evaluate success or failure of the implementation of NCCPs. • Research on methodologies to better assess the effectiveness of cancer prevention policies should be enhanced.
