 Precision in Prevention

In last two decades many strategies have been suggested for early detection and screening of cancer. Some of these strategies have been recommended after large randomization trials demonstrating reduction in mortality. Even if these strategies are attractive to apply at country level, it has been challenging for countries with large populations. Numerous new methods regarding selection of high-risk population/communities/individuals have been proposed. 

The ’Precision in Prevention’ track will discuss the current devices and technologies to implement strategies tailored to specific individuals or populations. The goal is to target the intervention to the right population at the right time using biological, behavioural,and socio-economical information.

The two days programme will cover the following themes in the emerging concept of Precision in Prevention.

  1. Identification of Populations/Communities in need of Screening.
  2. Identification of Individuals at highest risk of developing cancer.
  3. Emerging technologies useful in ‘Precision in Prevention’

New horizons in primary and secondary prevention of common cancers

Many cancers which are common in India are amenable to primary or secondary prevention. The current focus for screening is for cancer of breast, cervix and oral cavity. However, recently some other cancer sites like colon and prostate have shown remarkable increase in incidence rates. Given the heterogeneity in rates of cancer in different regions of India and availability of different strategies for prevention of these cancer sites, it is imperative to discuss current evidence which can be used for cancer prevention in different states.

This trackwill discuss current strategies and future directions to prevent cancers of breast, cervix, oral cavity, lung, prostate,colo-rectal and esophagus and stomach in India
