Cancer: announcement of code of conduct on the right to be forgotten

Before the end of the current legislative term, EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides wants to develop a code of conduct on the right to be forgotten for former cancer patients. „The past few decades have seen enormous progress in childhood cancer survival, and today, we can cure up to 80 percent of childhood cancers,“ Kyriakides said at an event. She said it is unacceptable that former cancer patients will continue to face numerous social and financial barriers, for example, in accessing financial services such as mortgages and loans, for years and decades to come.
