Primary and Secondary Prevention: Developing and Disseminating Knowledge for Personalised Cancer Prevention
Lead Contact
Dr. Delia NicoaraProject brief
Task 8.2.2 focuses on consolidating and expanding personalized cancer prevention across Europe through the development of Cancer Prevention Hubs within Comprehensive Cancer Centres (CCCs).
By centralizing prevention knowledge, research, and cross-border collaboration, the task enables CCCs to integrate evidence-based strategies into daily clinical and community practices.
The hubs act as one-stop platforms for screening, education, lifestyle modification, and stakeholder engagementâturning prevention science into routine action.
Objectives (Summary)
- Raise Cancer Prevention Awareness across CCCs and external stakeholders
- Establish and formally validate a comprehensive framework for a prevention cancer hub, along with a protocol designed to facilitate transferability across multiple organizational contexts/settings
- Deepen Teaming Collaborations between different CCCs
- Strengthen International Exchanges (Australia, Japan, Canada)
- Develop Scientific Documentation & Policy-ready Outputs
