A new study published today in The Lancet<\/a> Oncology highlights that many of the current 20 million cancer survivors across Europe are being discriminated against in accessing financial services, including loans, mortgages, health and travel insurance.<\/p>\n

The work indicated that on average, up to 25% of those living beyond their cancer may be having more difficulty accessing appropriate financial services.<\/p>\n

A European-wide effort is currently attempting to fight this discrimination, by supporting the introduction of legislation that will permit successfully treated cancer patients to not declare a previously diagnosed cancer, so that their diagnosis is essentially \u201cforgotten\u201d.
\nIn January 2016, France became the first country in the world to introduce the \u201cRight To Be Forgotten\u201d, specifying that long-term cancer survivors do not have to share medical information with a financial institution about their cancer diagnosis after a delay of five years without recurrence. Seven other European countries have since taken similar legal measures to counter financial discrimination against cancer survivors. Other European Member States have chosen to implement self-regulatory codes of conduct (Denmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg), but these are not legally binding.<\/p>\n

With over eight years of experience, evidence from France\u00a0indicates no significant negative impact on insurance companies operating in the French jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

Those who are living beyond their disease should not be penalised for a previous cancer diagnosis. Cancer patients across Europe who have been successfully treated should, by law, be able to avoid disclosing a previous diagnosis of cancer, so that they can access the financial services that they need.<\/p>\n

Professor Lawler added: \u201cThis is not about compassion; this is about evidence and acting on that evidence. When a cancer professional says that you are cured and international benchmarking agrees, then why do the financial institutions say that you are not? Don\u2019t make cancer patients pay twice. Ensure the Right To Be Forgotten is enshrined in law throughout Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n
