Early Detection, Prevention & Infections Branch, International Agency for Research on Cancer, 25 Avenue Tony Garnier, Lyon, 69366 Cedex 07, France.

Background: Barriers to the cancer continuum organization and interventions to approach them have been identified; however, there is a lack of a tool matching them. Our aim was to develop a web-based tool to identify the main barriers to the process of the cancer continuum organization, and propose matched evidence-based interventions (EBI) to overcome them.

Methods: A questionnaire on barriers at six steps of the process of the cancer continuum organization was answered by collaborators.
