The long road towards cancer prevention: 4 steps backward and 8 forward
2010
At the same time andpartly as a consequence, prevalence of cancer has been risingfrom about 1.5% to 3%, especially in people of higher SES.Thus, despite better diagnoses and treatments to patients,the cancer burden is still increasing. A variety of strategieswhich integrate disease prevention policies across a widerpopulation are needed to deliver better global results: oncol-ogy might be making progress in detection and treatmentbut losing ground in prevention.This narration is not new. The ‘Europe against Cancer’ pro-gramme, which ran from 1986 to about 2002,

Cancer prevention policy in the EU: Best practices are now well recognised; no reason for countries to lag behind
2018
Highlights • National Cancer Control Programmes (NCCPs) are key elements in cancer control. • NCCPs’ role in national cancer policies of EU countries has grown significantly. • Few quantitative assessments are available to evaluate success or failure of the implementation of NCCPs. • Research on methodologies to better assess the effectiveness of cancer prevention policies should be enhanced.
Cancer causes and prevention: a condensed appraisal in Europe in 2008.
2008
The rising cancer burden in Europe, mainly due to a rapidly ageing population, demands a clear and coordinated response from researchers, oncologists and other physicians, public health professionals and policy-makers. Primary and secondary prevention is the front line in the complex battle against cancer in Europe. To formulate the best strategies in this fight, the major determinants of cancer are summarised in the order of their relative importance in Europe, including tobacco smoking, alcohol, diet, physical activity, occupational factors, environmental factors, infectious agents and genetic and hormonal factors. Furthermore, this paper offers explicit recommendations on individual beha…
Foreword: Implementing cancer prevention in Europe
2010
The understanding of risk factors underpinning the aetiology of many common cancers is well established, yet the conversion of this knowledge into prevention lags considerably behind. The title of this Special Issue - Implementing cancer prevention in Europe - captures the central theme within; namely, the translation of cancer epidemiology into public health policy. The Special Issue is supported by focused evidence-based case studies of how these processes might be best taken forward. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
