Special Newsletter focused on the Right to Be Forgotten

Provide your feedback on an anonymous survey on the financial impact of a cancer diagnosis

The Netherlands Cancer Institute is developing patient research on the financial effects of a cancer diagnosis. This Institute, in collaboration with the German DKFZ Heidelberg, would like to learn more about the financial effects of a cancer diagnosis and how (former) cancer patients feel about this additional burden. The survey is anonymous, and the results are intended to help improve future cancer care.

Please provide your feedback here (The survey is available in all EU languages)

The Right to Be Forgotten for cancer survivors has been approved in Portugal

We are pleased to announce that the Right to Be Forgotten has been approved in Portugal and it will be implemented by January 2022.

On 14th May, two Portuguese parties – the Socialist Party and the People, Animals and Nature Party- presented two law projects. On the same day, the parliament voted for one of the two proposals. Since then, the law-making was ongoing undertaking discussions with the relevant stakeholders, including cancer patient’s organisations and the Portuguese doctors' association. Finally, on the 22nd October, the Portuguese Parliament voted and approved it.

The final version of the law approved is available here (in Portuguese).

By January 2022, Portugal will become the 5th country to ensure cancer survivors access to financial instruments. One step towards the implementation of the Right to Be Forgotten across Europe.

On the same occasion, the results from a survey addressed to haematological patients were presented. Data showed that around 13% of them experienced issues in access to financial services and around 65% declared to be in favour of a law on the Right to Be Forgotten in Italy.
