Work Package 7:

The overall objective is to provide tools and recommendations and reach consensus on essential processes to close the gap between current knowledge and practice in population-based cancer screening programmes (breast, colorectal, and cervical cancers), already provided as part of the standard services in most EU countries.

Specific objectives are as follows:

1) To identify the level of implementation of quality assurance (QA) management systems in EU cancer screening programmes and provide guidance for implementing PROMS as a quality indicator;

2) To establish and standardise key definitions for measurement and reporting of interval cancer rates;

3) To evaluate the impact of integrating AI solutions into the workflow for breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer screening on diagnostic accuracy, workflow efficiency, and patient outcomes;

4) To identify the most effective invitation strategies that incorporate modern information technologies applied in population-based cancer screening programmes and provide recommendations applicable in different settings;

5) To develop a framework to support the piloting and implementation of self-sampling in cervical cancer screening;

6) To identify high-quality online decision aids for cancer screening (breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer) with proven efficacy in real-world settings and develop a web-based decision aid mock-up to facilitate informed decision-making in CRC screening.
