eEUView - PUBLIC HEALTH

The European Cancer Imaging Initiative is conceived to support healthcare providers, research institutes and innovators in making the best use of innovative data-driven solutions for cancer treatment and care.
Both common and rare cancers are included, with anonymized images and annotations through a pan-European Cancer Images infrastructure. More than 100,000 cases are expected to be available in the related database. At least 50 Artificial Intelligence algorithms and clinical prediction models for researchers within the infrastructure are planned to be deployed by the end of the project. 
A European Hub for imaging on cancers and the use of Artificial Intelligence is borning and it will be fully operational by 2026.

The new EU strategy to fight cancer
​ 

EU launched a European Hub Project to collect lage quantity of imaging of all types of cancer and to use of Artificial Intelligence.  The analysis of the different forms of cancer and the characteristics it assumes over time are studied by very advanced algorithms, to help treat and fight it.

​Two projects have been launched to create the European Hub:

  1. ​EUCAIM, the EUropean Federation for CAncer IMages, which joins 76 partners to deploy a pan-European digital federated infrastructure of FAIR cancer-related, de-identified, real-world images. With a budget of €17.8 million, EUCAIM is expected to finish its work by the end of 2026.
  2. Testing and Experimentation Facility for Health​ (TEF-Health), a 50% funded project with €59.4 million and assigned to 37 national institutes and research centers and coordinated by the University of Berlin CHARITE - UNIVERSITAETSMEDIZIN of Berlin

The new European Hub will work towards creating a digital infrastructure linking cancer imaging data resources and databases across the EU, while ensuring that high ethical standards, trust, safety and personal data protection are met. It will also link national and EU-level initiatives, hospital networks and research repositories with imaging data and other relevant health data.

​Thanks to the European Cancer Imaging Hub, researchers will have free access to high-quality data to study and fight the disease. The Hub will allow doctors to make more precise and rapid clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and predictive decisions than today. And this, all for the benefit of cancer patients.

​The EU has been engaged in the fight against cancer for many years and had recently created a new agency, the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA), to combine health policy with the most innovative IT tools.
​

Major objectives of EU Strategy​
  • ​Give European clinicians, researchers and innovators easy access to large amounts of cancer imaging data;
​
  • Support the testing and development of tools for personalised medicine to advance cancer diagnostics and treatments

  • Support the creation of new, and the interoperability of existing, cancer image datasets, in line with the European Strategy for Data.​​
