In this episode of the Vital Health Podcast, host Duane Schulthess speaks with three leaders advancing precision cancer medicine implementation in Europe:

Bettina Ryll: Stockholm School of Economics, Institute for Research; Founder, Melanoma Patient Network Europe.
Kjetil Taskén: Head of the Institute for Cancer Research, Oslo University Hospital; Professor, University of Oslo; Coordinator, PRIME-ROSE.
Anni Lepland: Head of Personalized Medicine in Oncology, Estonian Cancer Network.

They explore how Europe’s new Joint Action can accelerate equitable precision oncology, what PRIME-ROSE has learned from aggregating data across national pragmatic trials, and why a distributed, bottom-up model with strong patient involvement and industry collaboration is key to scaling access and evidence generation across member states.

Key Topics:

EU Joint Action: Governmental collaboration, precision prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, precision follow-up.
PRIME-ROSE Collaboration: Data sharing agreements, aggregated cohorts, common biomarker definitions, and monthly alignment.
Patient Need First: Options after standard care, access to molecular profiling, pragmatic protocols, and learning from each case.
Widening Country Gaps: Workforce shortages, national coordination, digital tools, and equitable access to innovative drugs.
Industry and Access: Single point of entry for drugs, managed entry agreements, off-label registries, and scaling trials across Europe.

Opinions expressed are those of the speakers.
