Photocure raises awareness at EU Roundtable and Report on bladder cancer
In April 2025 the International Centre for Parliamentary Studies ICPS organized a senior-level roundtable on bladder cancer with leading clinicians, industry experts from Photocure and J&J Innovative Medicine, the European Association of Urology and the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition. The objective of this collaboration was to establish a set of recommendations for EU & Member State policymakers to enhance awareness, prevention, optimizing early diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer in Europe.
The resulting recommendations are published in this Government Gazette Healthcare Report, (bladder cancer section as of p. 33) featuring Photocure’s expert opinion:
- Equal access to advanced technologies to identify tumors in the bladder reduces burden on patients and healthcare systems.
- Bladder cancer is one of the costliest cancers to treat
- Precision medicine requires a precise diagnosis first
Thank you to the ICPS for hosting the event and for giving us the opportunity to take part in an animated discussion. Bladder Cancer deserves our attention, and the importance of such exchange remains critically important!
