The Recommendation has been instrumental in ensuring that more citizens have access to organised screenings for these cancer types. However, there are still wide disparities in access to screening among Member States.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2020, an estimated 2.7 million people in the Union were diagnosed with cancer. According to estimations, one in two EU citizens will develop cancer during their lifetime, with long-lasting consequences on their quality of life, and only half of all cancer patients will survive.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d; height: 244px;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 244px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%; height: 244px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/ficha\/access-to-financial-products-for-persons-with-a-history-of-cancer-in-eu-member-states-an-exploratory-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/reag.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"134\" height=\"190\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/ficha\/access-to-financial-products-for-persons-with-a-history-of-cancer-in-eu-member-states-an-exploratory-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access to financial products for persons with a history of cancer in EU Member States.
