Organisation
A complex organization was created to develop the list and achieve maximum consensus among the experts and institutions involved in cancer in Europe. This organization consisted of various groups with different roles.

  • Steering Committee - SC: had a decisional role on many aspects of the project
  • Panel of Experts - PE: included one expert for each EU member, and experts from cancer institutions and the major European cancer networks (IARC, EBCN, Cervix Network, EUROCARE, EUROPREVAL, OECD, ENCR, and NCI from US). The PE held a vital role in the project, discussing and preparing the list and organizing national groups of specialists
  • National groups of specialists - NGS: were set up by the members of the “Panel of Experts” and consisted of groups at national level which discussed indicators from a national angle
  • Domain groups of specialists - DGS: were organized internationally with specialists in five major cancer domains from Europe. One group was created for each one of our study areas, i.e.: prevention, screening area, data registration and epidemiology, treatment and clinical aspects, social and macro-economic variables
  • Methodological Group - MG: dealt with methodological aspects related to the indicators included in the list
  • Working Team - WT: supported all groups from organizational point of view.
