27.09-14.12.2023 Webinar series: 'Yes, we can (no can/can't): European Cancer Plan. Focus on breast and lung"
The webinar series "Yes, we can (no can/cer): European Cancer Plan. Focus on breast and lung" takes place from September 27th to December 14th 2023. The event is organized by Europe Direct Veneto of the City of Venice, the other Centers of the Europe Direct network of the University of Chieti, the Municipality of Nuoro, the Province of Verona, Rome Innovation operating at Formez PA, the University of Siena, and the University Consortium of Trapani Sicily. The aim is to raise awareness of the "PEuropean Plan to Combat Cance" and the EU's commitment to fight this disease and promote a true European health policy to more effectively protect the health of citizens and thus be more secure and resilient.
The webinar series is free and open to all citizens, schools, associations and stakeholders. To participate, it is necessary to register on the Formez PA website.
Europe urgently needs a renewed commitment to cancer prevention, treatment and care to meet the growing challenges posed by this disease and to increase the chances of curing and defeating it. The European Cancer Plan is the EU's response to these needs.
The webinar series, which takes the form of an educational/informational pathway, focuses on lung and breast cancer with the aim of providing knowledge, and thus awareness, of these diseases and raising awareness of their prevention, thus contributing to the improvement of the health of citizens, which is equivalent to the improvement of the general living conditions of the community.
The webinar series will address topics such as:
-
air pollution with a focus on indoor air pollution
-
new therapies
-
improvement of lifestyles
-
nutrition, alcohol and tobacco control (the latter activity, in particular, will also be aimed at schools, just as the webinar dealing with indoor air pollution will also be aimed at school principals)
-
psychological aspects of the disease
-
most appropriate facilities for treatment
-
European funding in the health sector
