Abstract The age‐standardised incidence of cervical cancer in Europe varies widely by country (between 3 and 25/100000 women‐years) 2018. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage is low countries with the highest screening performance heterogeneous among European countries. A broad group delegates scientific professional societies organisations endorse principles WHO call to eliminate as a public health problem, also Europe. All nations should, 2030, reach at least 90% HPV girls age 15...
Abstract Background The MyPeBS study is an ongoing randomised controlled trial testing whether a risk-stratified breast cancer screening strategy non-inferior, or eventually superior, to standard age-based at reducing incidence of stage 2 more cancers. This large European Commission-funded initiative aims include 85,000 women aged 40 70 years, without prior and not previously identified high risk in six countries (Belgium, France, Italy, Israel, Spain, UK). A specific work package within...
Abstract Background To evaluate the acceptability of a risk-based breast cancer screening (BCS) strategy among professionals involved in MyPeBS study 6 countries. Methods After qualitative interviews, questionnaire was built with Delphi method: to professionals’ basic understanding, satisfaction and reactions each stage trial, opinions on BCS its future. The distributed by emailing 698 investigators, who forwarded it all categories trial recruitment (physicians, medical secretaries, nurses,...
Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the status of cervical cancer screening (CCS) implementation in Europe by investigating national or regional policies towards broadening coverage CCS amongst vulnerable subgroups population at high risk for CC. Methods A web-based survey was conducted between September 2021 and February 2022 with programme managers experts identify rank six considered most CC map existing that addressed sub-groups risk. Results total 31 responses were...
Cervical cancer remains a significant public health concern in Europe. Effective introduction and scaling up of human papillomavirus (HPV) detection-based cervical screening (CCS) requires systematic assessment systems capacity. However, there is no validated capacity methodology for CCS programmes, especially European contexts. Addressing this gap, our study introduces an innovative adaptable protocol evaluating the programmes across varying system settings. Our research team developed...
The European Code against Cancer (ECAC) informs the public on steps to take reduce their cancer risk. Despite over three decades of promotion, no systematic evaluation its impact has yet been carried out. This study aimed address gap in knowledge regarding ECAC. An online survey targeting adults general population was conducted and analysed by age, gender, country, both descriptive mutually adjusted logistic regression analyses. Additionally, semi-structured interviews with health promotion...
Abstract Background Participation in mammography screening comes with harms alongside benefits. Information about provided to women should convey this information yet concerns persist its effect on participation. This study addressed factors that may influence the intention screen once a woman has been informed benefits and of Methods A cross-sectional survey from five countries (Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom) was performed January 2021. The contained statement regarding...
As part of the third European Commission's Joint Action on Cancer (Innovative Partnership for Against Cancer, iPAAC), International Agency Research (IARC) was commissioned to produce a report recommendations sustain and monitor future updates Code (ECAC). A co-creational consultation process, including virtual workshop, carried out. More than 100 experts in cancer prevention, public health, communication representatives authorities provided input scope editions ECAC, updating scientific...
Background Mobile health technologies, underpinned by scientific evidence and ethical standards, exhibit considerable promise potential in actively engaging consumers patients while also assisting care providers delivering cancer prevention services. The WASABY mobile app was conceived as an innovative, evidence-based tool aimed at disseminating age-appropriate messages from the European Code Against Cancer (ECAC) to adolescents across Europe. Objective This study aims assess outcomes of...
Cancer is a major public health concern in the European Union (EU). There were 2.7 million new cancer cases and 1.3 deaths EU; of them, around 40% could be prevented. Primary prevention most cost-effective long-term strategy for control. The Code Against (ECAC, 4 th edition) education tool aimed at raising awareness about evidence-based actions among EU citizens. ECAC describes 12 ways individuals can reduce their risk. Awareness (4 ed.) was low (2–21%) and, therefore, efforts are needed to...
