The MELCAYA project addresses this issue, since this disease lacks preventive and diagnostic strategies. A focus session was conducted to identify challenges and potential improvements in current policies on rare cancers.  \nMethods: The focus session involved 15 participants, including patients, caregivers, patient advocates, and healthcare professionals from seven European countries. This session explored, through open discussions, challenges in melanoma prevention and early diagnosis as well as the role of patient advocates in policy development and implementation. Furthermore, a group dynamic was carried out to collect patients’ insights on 20 policy strategies from National Cancer Control Plans (NCCP), which were categorized into three areas:(i) early diagnosis and symptom awareness; (ii) health promotion and ultraviolet radiation prevention; and (iii) precision medicine and genetic counseling. Participants provided insights by identifying lacking policies and proposing actions for their implementation. Results: Key challenges in melanoma prevention and early diagnosis include: (i) low awareness and education among the general population and a misconception about its severity; (ii) fragmented care in the patient journey from diagnosis to treatment; (iii) ineffective communication with younger generations; and (iv) difficulties on how to navigate through the healthcare systems. Participants proposed 18 additional potential strategies to the NCCP and 22 actions for policy integration into healthcare systems. The current ad hoc approach fails to fully leverage contributions from advocates and healthcare professionals, often resulting in policies misaligned with clinical realities and patient needs.  \nConclusions: This focus session provided patient ideas for policy initiatives, identified gaps in current policies from the NCPP, and emphasized the need for improved awareness, education, and communication strategies. Patient involvement in policy development, ina more structured way, is crucial for creating effective strategies, and its integration into healthcare systems could enhance melanoma prevention and early diagnosis in CAYA populations.  \nPP75 Empowering Laypeople In Health Technology Assessment Through Gamification: The PARTICIPA SUS/ATS Project  \nQuenia Cristina Dias Morais ([qcdias@gmail.com](qcdias@gmail.com)), Marcelo Goulart, Dominique Spada, Milene Costa, Bruno Barros, Andressa Braga and Marisa Santos  \nIntroduction: Patient involvement is a cornerstone of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), legitimizing decisions on the reimbursement of new health technologies. However, the complexity of these processes hinders public engagement. To overcome this, the Participa SUS/ATS project developed a gamified digital platform to educate laypeople about health technology assessment (HTA), empowering them with knowledge to engage effectively in public consultations.  \nMethods: The platform has individualized access and comprises ten modules of educational videos and interactive games. Joana, a fictional SUS user, embarks on a journey reflecting common patient experiences, learning about the health system, HTA, and technology reimbursement processes. Content was informed by research into challenges faced by patient associations and validated through online questionnaires with pilot users.
