The claim omits that overall new cancer cases in the EU decreased by 1.7% in 2024 compared to 2022, according to Joint Research Centre data from December 2025. The increase appears to be specific to certain demographic groups (younger women) rather than a general trend. The Euronews source was published 3 days after the session date (2026-02-12), though the data it references likely predates the session.
No primary source document titled 'Country Cancer 2026' was found to verify this specific report name.
