On February 15, the European Parliament plenary is scheduled to vote on an own-initiative opinion on “Strengthening Europe in the fight against cancer – towards a comprehensive and coordinated strategy”
However, the resolution does not mention nuclear medicine. This is despite Europe leading global research and development in nuclear medicine, and nuclear medicine’s record in saving hundreds of thousands of lives over the years. By contrast, the European Commission’s Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan recognizes nuclear medicine as the safest and most effective way to beat the disease.
