Over 180 participants came together at the Oncology Data Summitorganised by EFPIA, building greater understanding of the current oncology data landscape in Europe, and identifying actions that can help deliver better cancer outcomes. The Summit built on a programme of activity developed by theEFPIA Oncology Platformthrough recent years, which has been engaging with a variety of stakeholders to identify key determinants that would improve cancer care in Europe. From these exchanges, the more effective use of oncology data emerged as a key horizontal enabler for many different aspects of prevention and treatment.

Every new treatment or cure starts with the spark of an idea. That spark has to be nurtured and cared for through the long and complex process of developing a medicine before it can begin to transform the lives of patients.
