Joint Action on Networks of Expertise on Cancer - JANE-2

 JANE-2, aims to build seven new Networks of Expertise (NoEs) in the area of oncology: 

1) Complex and poor prognosis cancers 
2) Palliative care 
3) Survivorship 
4) Primarily and secondary cancer prevention  
5) Omics technologies 
6) Hi-tech medical resources  
7) Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer 

These Networks of Expertise will be the first of their kind and aim to provide the highest standard of care to the citizens and inhabitants of the EU in oncology, with a potential to serve as a pilot for new disease areas. NoEs should provide services to the European cancer community, each of them focusing on its subject. Moreover, their services may include, but will not be limited to, the following: 

a) producing, or supporting, clinical practice guidelines and/or general recommendations for medical professionals, patients, the public 
b) raising public awareness and carrying out advocacy/policy actions 
c) developing healthcare organization models 
d) developing educational initiatives/tools for medical professionals and patients 
e) undertaking efforts to promote research 
f) developing quality criteria for accreditation/endorsement mechanisms 
g) engaging patients and the public.
