BECA Hearing
The Beating Cancer committee will put patients and their caregivers first on Monday 11 January 2021 from 13:45 to 16:15 and from 16:45 to 18:45.
The four and a half hour meeting will be entirely dedicated to patients' experiences and their recommendations for the forthcoming BECA report. Cancer patients face various problems such as:
  • physical trauma
  • mental health issues
  • difficulties to return to school, work or leisure
  • work-life balance issues
They also often lack adequate medical, psychological, social and financial support during their treatments, as do their families and caregivers. Additionally, people with work-related cancer sometimes face additional challenges resulting from the lack of recognition of their disease. Another difficulty is the lack of a recognized legal status for caregivers in some Member States.
