💬 A few days ago, Professor Paolo Boffetta, Coordinator of the Cancer Prevention at Work Project, delivered a presentation entitled “The Contribution of Occupational Health Surveillance to Cancer Prevention: The Cancer Prevention at Work Project” in the 88th edition of the National Congress of the Italian Society of Occupational Medicine (SIML - Società italiana medicina del lavoro), one of Italy’s leading forums for advancing knowledge and practice in occupational health.

📄 This year’s congress focused on “From Prevention to Health Promotion: An Integrated Approach to Contexts, Regulations, Responsibilities, and Social Ethics,” opening the floor for scientific, technical, and institutional debate on how occupational medicine can address the evolving challenges of today’s world of work.

Today is — a moment to unite behind the idea that “Cancer research needs us all.”

Since 2016, this day has reminded us that scientific progress in cancer and depends on collaboration across borders, disciplines, and communities.

At the Cancer Prevention at Work Project, we bring this spirit into practice by researching how to integrate prevention of cancers linked to Helicobacter pylori, Hepatitis C virus, and Human Papillomavirus into existing occupational health surveillance programmes.
By engaging with workers, health professionals, policymakers, and patient organisations, we aim to make cancer prevention more accessible, cost-effective, and impactful for people across Europe.

✳️ Because advancing cancer research is not just about discovery — it’s about ensuring that innovation reaches those who need it most.

On this , we reaffirm our commitment to meaningful, inclusive research that saves lives.
