IT IS ESSENTIAL TO FOLLOW AN INTEGRATED APPROACH INVOLVING EDUCATION, PREVENTION MEASURES, EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND THE ADOPTION OF INDIVIDUALIZED THERAPIES TO ENSURE THE BEST STATE OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS.
“The first objective of the ECP is the protection of public health, through information that must be available to everyone to reach all social, cultural, political and professional sectors.
Today, our precise mandate is to spread an authentic scientific culture to transfer research results outside the academic context, to promote the social and cultural growth of the countries”.

Since 1981, we have been involved in public health by promoting educational campaigns, supporting young researchers and disseminating science.
our mission
European Cancer Prevention (ECP) is committed to reducing cancer-related mortality in Italy and Europe by intervening on various fronts. Our organization firmly promotes the abolition of tobacco, the implementation of educational campaigns focused on proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, the increase in cancer screening, the use of genetics and precision oncology to identify high-risk individuals and the promotion of tertiary prevention to reduce the risk of relapse. Implementation of such strategies could lead to a 35% reduction in cancer mortality and a 70% increase in cancer survival by 2070.
Cancer prevention encompasses a broad range of activities, commonly referred to as “interventions,” that aim to reduce health risks or threats. ECP is actively engaged in several areas, including epidemiology, nutrition, genetics, molecular biology, targeted therapies, surgery and innovative research areas. Our members come from different European countries and meet annually to share advances in cancer prevention and discuss new research projects.
Prevention and advancement of cancer research in Europe
ECP therefore is a point of reference for the European medical and scientific community, offering a wide range of educational opportunities for doctors, which include scientific meetings, educational conferences, professional workshops and special symposiums on topics of relevance to oncologists and researchers. We are committed to providing a stimulating learning environment and promoting knowledge exchange and cutting-edge collaborations in the field of cancer prevention.
