EXUS as Coordinator


A European “shield” against colorectal cancer based on novel, more precise and affordable risk-based screening methods and viable policy pathways

A multilevel campaign to boost colorectal cancer screening

The ONCOSCREEN project aims to promote accurate, non-invasive, cost-effective screening tests based on new technologies and an increased awareness on the disease. Personalised approaches for screening are needed to consider genetic and other socioeconomic variables and environmental stressors. With this in mind, the project will develop a risk-based, population-level stratification methodology for CRC to account for genetic prevalence, socioeconomic status and other factors. Bringing together a 38-partner consortium, the project is in line with Horizon Europe’s Cancer Mission.

Impact

ONCOSCREEN will develop a risk-based, population-level stratification methodology for CRC, to account for genetic prevalence, socio-economic status, and other factors. It complements this methodology by a) developing a set of novel, practical, and low-cost screening technologies with high sensitivity and specificity, b) leveraging AI to improve existing methodologies for CRC screening, allowing for the early detection of polyps and provision of a personalized risk status stratification, and c) providing a mobile app for self-monitoring and CRC awareness raising. Furthermore, ONCOSCREEN develops an Intelligent Analytics dashboard for policy makers facilitating effective policy making at regional and national levels. Through a multi-level campaign, the above-mentioned solutions are tested and validated. For the clinical solutions specifically, a clinical validation study has been planned with the participation of 4100 enrolled patients/citizens.
