The paragraph on paediatric cancer is rephrased, changing the description of the disease and the requested actions. The text expands the scope of future European actions to include cardiovascular diseases and the Safe Hearts Plan. The paragraph on prevention targets is rewritten, removing the 'tobacco-free generation' goal and altering the list of risk factors.
