EUROPE IS A STRATEGIC LABORATORY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER PREVENTION, WHICH AIMS TO REDUCE CANCER INCIDENCE AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATION.
Europe is a region where cancer prevention research has achieved notable results over the years. Thanks to the commitment of health institutions and sector experts, risk factors have been identified, screening strategies adopted and prevention policies developed to reduce the incidence of cancer.
The European Cancer Prevention Organization (ECP) is an organization that coordinates and supports research programs on cancer prevention in Europe. Through international collaborations and targeted funding, the ECP promotes the advancement of scientific knowledge and the transfer of discoveries into clinical practice and health policy.
The ECP therefore supports innovative projects aimed at reducing the risk and incidence of tumors: the objective is to identify tumor lesions early, improve the accessibility of screening tests and develop prevention strategies based on lifestyle and use of drugs and vaccines.
PROJECTS
ECP research projects focus on various areas, including:
Identification of risk factors: The research aims to identify and better understand cancer risk factors, such as exposure to harmful substances, heredity, lifestyle and environment. This information allows us to develop personalized prevention strategies and implement targeted interventions to reduce tumor incidence.
Screening and early diagnosis: The ECP supports research aimed at improving screening strategies and early diagnosis of cancer. The objective is to identify more effective and accessible screening methods, which allow the early detection of tumor lesions, thus increasing the chances of recovery and reducing the incidence of advanced forms of cancer.
Prevention interventions: The research promoted by the ECP also focuses on the development of effective prevention interventions. This includes studies on lifestyle, such as diet and physical activity, as well as the use of preventive medications and vaccines, in order to reduce the risk of developing cancer.
RESEARCH
Research is the best tool to defeat cancer. Today cancer can be treated, and in many cases even cured and above all prevented!
