Queen Letizia of Spain presided over an event marking the World Cancer Day organized by the Spanish Association Against Cancer at Espacio Rastro in Madrid. Queen Letizia is the Honorary President of the association and last week attended the Association’s annual meeting to discuss the 2025 plan and 2024 progress.
During the event, Queen Letizia presented the “More Data Cancer”, the first open space for data on this disease in Spain, an initiative that arises in the face of the need for an integrated model of knowledge about cancer, which will promote equity in the approach of the disease throughout Spain. “More Data Cancer” is the project of 24 scientific entities and patient associations that seeks to generate an integrated model of knowledge about cancer. It collects 69 indicators, organized in the six main dimensions of a person’s journey with cancer: health promotion and primary prevention, secondary prevention, early detection, diagnosis, health care, follow-up and end of life.
This dynamic tool analyzes the evolution of cancer indicators over time, allowing to work in coordination with public administrations in the areas of improvement of the Health System and in the lack of information on cancer. The platform is visible to everyone. The 24 entities that are part of “More Cancer Data” point to the need to work in coordination with public administrations to improve knowledge and equity in cancer in Spain.
The Spanish Association Against Cancer and the Weber Foundation participated in the creation of “More Data Cancer”, together with an advisory group of outstanding scientific societies and patient associations. “More Data Cancer” seeks to ensure access to and integration of data to deepen knowledge of cancer, a fundamental step to address it more effectively. This will result in a better quality of life for patients, greater equity in cancer management and an increase in survival rates.
