12th to 13th October 2011
Kloster Und, Krems
The third international conference on evidence-based health promotion and prevention, EUFEP, will be held from October 12 – 13, 2011. The event will take place in Kloster Und, in Krems on the Danube, in the heart of the Wachau valley.
The program will focus on cancer prevention and will deal with the question “Cancer Prevention – Missed Opportunities or Empty Promises?”
The EUFEP target group comprises all decision makers in the health system, doctors, health-policy makers, health scientists, and all those interested in cancer prevention. The event is open to all professions.
The conference will again offer a workshop for journalists, which aims at explaining in detail what evidence-based cancer prevention is all about.
Participants will have the opportunity to gain and/or expand their knowledge on evidence-based cancer prevention and will get an insight into country-specific and global approaches.
Cancer prevention - Missed opportunities or empty promises?
This year’s program focuses on cancer prevention. More than 3 million new cases and 1.7 million deaths every year make cancer the second-most frequent cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe. In Austria, about 36,000 people fall ill with cancer every year. Against this backdrop, cancer prevention is gaining in importance and has become a significant economic area within the medical sector. It is above all early cancer detection tests (cancer screening) that play a vital role in modern preventative medicine. From a scientific point of view, the benefits of cancer prevention are controversial. Studies prove that cancer prevention may sometimes do more harm than good.
In the 21st century, evidence-based cancer prevention is facing two challenges: on the one hand, measures clearly promising to reduce cancer risk are only accepted by a minority of the population – on the other hand, interventions leading to over-diagnosis and unnecessary treatments are advertised and carried out and do more harm than good.
This is why this year’s EUFEP program is all about cancer prevention and will deal with the question “Cancer Prevention – Missed Opportunities or Empty Promises?” Participants will have the opportunity to gain and/or expand their knowledge on evidence-based cancer prevention and will get an insight into country-specific and global approaches.
