The European Code Against Cancer – new evidence and recommendations
Cancer is a major public health concern in the European Union (EU). There were 2.7 million new cancer cases and 1.3 million deaths in the EU; of them, around 40% could be prevented. Primary prevention is the most cost-effective long-term strategy for cancer control. The European Code Against Cancer (ECAC, 4 th edition) is a health education tool aimed at raising awareness about evidence-based cancer prevention actions among EU citizens. The ECAC describes 12 ways individuals can reduce their cancer risk. Awareness of the ECAC (4 th ed.) was low (2–21%) and, therefore, efforts are needed to improve cancer prevention awareness throughout the region. Civil society and other stakeholders’ engagement is key to improve cancer prevention in the region. Our aim is to propose recommendations to improve future ECAC editions to achieve an increase in cancer prevention literacy in the EU.
期刊介绍:
NOWOTWORY Journal of Oncology publishes papers which cover all aspects of oncology but concentrates on clinical studies, both research orientated and treatment orientated, rather than on laboratory studies. Contributions are also welcomed from the fields of epidemiology, tumor pathology, radiobiology and radiation physics.
