ESMO 2026 | Health technology assessment disparities & cancer treatment access in Europe

Antonella Cardone • 25 Oct 2026
ESMO 2026
General

Antonella Cardone, Cancer Patients Europe, Brussels, Belgium, comments on the disparities in health technology assessment (HTA) decisions across Europe, highlighting that different HTA bodies, such as NICE, HAS, and G-BA, may reach varying conclusions when evaluating the same evidence for various cancer treatments. These discrepancies can lead to inequalities in access to effective treatments for cancer patients across Europe, despite the fact that overall survival outcomes are often positive after the treatment is made accessible. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2026 Congress in Madrid, Spain.
