Primary and Secondary Prevention: Developing and Disseminating Knowledge for Personalised Cancer Prevention

Project 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 engagement—turning 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

Our activities

Cancer Prevention Hub - Design and pilot clinical and organizational “one-stop-shops” for defining protocols, education with embedded patient and caregiver input and cross-CCCs coordination.

Awareness: Workshops & Knowledge Exchange Series - Thematic sessions on informed screening, HPV vaccination uptake, lifestyle interventions and environment-driven cancer management.

Best Practice Models & Evaluation - Identify exemplary programs, distill success factors and design implementation tools adaptable to local settings.

Transferability Protocol Validation Workshop - Define “adopt vs adapt” criteria enabling other CCCs to replicate hub models.

Policy Alignment Blueprints - Develop CCC decision-making mechanisms and EU-level models to harmonize governance frameworks that enable prevention personalization.

International Collaboration - Benchmark prevention models from Australia, Japan and Canada, integrating lessons into the European framework .
