JANE-2: JOINT ACTION ON EU NETWORKS OF EXPERTISE ON CANCER (2024-2028)

Introduction: JANE-2 (2024-2028) is a follow-up Joint Action of JA JANE (2022-2024), coordinated by the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale Tumori in Milan, involving 121 partners, 29 European countries, including NHRF (PI A. Pintzas) and NKUA (PI A. Kattamis) from Greece, EU co-financed with 40.5 M Euros within Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP).

Aim: Building on JANE outcomes and achievements , JANE-2 aims to build seven new Networks of Expertise (NoEs) on: 1) complex and poor prognosis cancers; 2) palliative care; 3) survivorship; 4) personalised primary and secondary cancer prevention; 5) omics technologies; 6) hi-tech medical resources; 7) adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer.

Scope: The new NoEs will provide services to the European oncology community, putting patients at the centre: clinical practice guidelines and recommendations, quality of care criteria, educational support, research promotion and support to patient advocates.

Main Challenge: By the end of JANE-2, NoEs will have to be largely independent and able to collaborate with each other, EU networks like EUNetCCC and ERNs and the European oncology community.
