Episode 5 of “Beating Cancer Belgium” podcast explores insights from Belgium’s 2025 Country Cancer Profile

In this fifth episode of the Beating Cancer Belgium podcast, we dive into the latest findings from the 2025 Country Cancer Profiles. Our host, Jinane Ghattas, speaks with Caroline Berchet, health economist at the OECD, to unpack Belgium’s unique cancer paradox: why does the country face higher-than-average incidence rates in Europe alongside a significant drop in cancer mortality? We explore how effective screenings, public health policies, and advanced treatments are driving progress, while also tackling the persistent socioeconomic and regional inequalities that remain. Tune in to discover how data, targeted policies, and local initiatives are working together to shape a more equitable and effective future for cancer care in Belgium.
