Question 40771 — diseases

Summary

Ms. Mireille Robert draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the personnel needs in the fight against cancer. On June 29, 2021, the Government presented a 2030 health innovation plan marking an unprecedented desire to make France, in the words of the President of the Republic: “a country that takes control of its destiny, assumes its risk to innovate, invent, manufacture and sell to the world all the health products and solutions of tomorrow. To do this, more than 7 billion euros will be mobilized for this plan, including in particular support for biomedical innovation, the fight against emerging infectious diseases, the creation of an ecosystem favorable to start-ups in the sector, the creation of the health innovation agency... In terms of the fight against cancer, innovation and research are essential both to find curative treatments and to carry out an effective prevention policy. Today, placed under the dual supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, on the one hand and the Ministry of Solidarity and Health on the other, the National Cancer Institute created by the public health law of August 9, 2004 is responsible for coordinating actions to combat cancer. These actions concern, in terms of research, to support cutting-edge fields: genome study, experimental study models, biology, immunology; translate fundamental discoveries more quickly into advances for the benefit of the population and sick people: diagnostic tools, personalized treatments, quality of life; increase the provision of biological and clinical resources for researchers; develop clinical trials to find effective treatments and finally make French research an international reference. This mission interests all French people as cancer remains the leading cause of death in the country with 150,000 deaths per year. On July 5, 2021, a new ten-year strategy was launched. It aims to reduce the number of preventable cancers by 60,000 cases per year by 2040 (today, 153,000 cancers per year could be avoided); has carry out one million more screenings by 2025, within the scope of existing screenings (today, around 9 million screenings are carried out each year); to reduce by 2/3 to 1/3 the proportion of patients suffering from after-effects 5 years after a diagnosis (in 2017, 3.8 million people live in France with cancer or have recovered from it); and finally to significantly improve the survival rate of worse cancers prognosis, by 2030 (in 2016, 7 cancer locations have a 5-year survival rate of less than 33%). To do this, the INCA needs financial and human resources. Today, it appears that the creation, possibly spread over a period of three years, of around twenty positions would be necessary to continue these missions. She therefore wishes to know the Government's intentions with regard to human resources and budget allocated to the INCA to carry out its missions while France has just affirmed a strong desire to give the country the means to become a leader in the field of health.
