The European Code Against Cancer (ECAC5) brings together 14 evidence-based recommendations addressing personal behaviours, environmental factors and medical interventions for the general population across the European Union.
While focused on cancer prevention, many of these recommendations also contribute to the prevention of other non-communicable diseases, supporting healthier lives and improved well-being. Together, the ECAC5 recommendations offer a clear, accessible guidance to reduce cancer risk, and address common misconceptions about cancer, ensuring that reliable cancer prevention information is accessible to everyone, in every EU language.
