Prevention The fact that preventing the onset of a cancer is among the best treatment options is a well established and shared fundamental concept within the oncology community. Moreover it is widely accepted that the majority of cancers could be preventable. The understanding of the extremely complex cancer aetiology is clearly the base for any prevention and treatment strategy to be eff ective. Regrettably, despite all the information available, still the rate of cure of tumours remains generally very low. When prevention is considered it is not only a matter of deepening the scientifi c knowledge. This information has to be given a pragmatic value via a synergy with public health, education and support initiatives. The general population and the stakeholders in the capacity of taking such potentially eff ective actions have to be thoroughly and extensively educated. Furthermore, when a cause is identifi ed as potentially capable to have a strong correlation with the induction of a cancer, any action aimed at removing that cause should be carefully monitored to assess its real effi cacy. This process has already brought in the past to the achievement of impressive and positive results connected with the measures taken in order to tackle the negative eff ects of smoking, alcohol and dietary intake. Three EU funded projects foster the integration of the aetiology of cancer with preventive measures. These are: the Coordination Action (CA) ‘EPIC’ aimed at the production of a large mass of data potentially relevant for the identifi cation of nutritional and environmental causes of cancer with the clear objective of establishing enhanced public health strategies for the prevention of cancer and other chronic diseases; the CA ‘EUROCADET’ aimed at underpinning and promote the implementation of European and national policies to prevent cancer and the Specifi c Targeted Project (STREP) ‘MAMMI’ aimed at enhancing early detection methodologies for breast cancer based on beyond-state-of-the–art Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging methodologies.
