Prevention NOW saves Treatment LATER
Our research mission for Cancer Prevention:
* New lifesaving Cancer Prevention medicines.
*. New Therapies for cancers in their early stages.
* Analysis of the role of microbes in causing Childhood Cancer.
* Heightened Cancer Awareness by GPs and public.
* Lifestyle, diet and environmental changes for Cancer avoidance.
* Dissemination of Trial results relating to Cancer Treatment and Prevention Prevention NOW saves Treatment LATER
The statement “Prevention is better than Cure” is never truer than for Childhood Cancer.
The detection of malignant disease is increasingly more possible through Prevention Research. There are however still types of Childhood Cancer with no known cure or low survival rates.
Prevention NOW saves Treatment LATER
Research is increasing our understanding of how silent infections, lifestyle and diet, genetic predisposition and environmental pollution lead to different types of Childhood and later adult Cancer. We identify how simple changes in lifestyle and diet combined with avoidance of exposure to environmental contaminants reduce cancer for kids at tender age or later on into teens and adulthood.
Identifying and understanding hitherto unknown cause-and-effect relationships enables scientists to limit exposure to such carcinogenic factors or devise prevention therapies to suppress their effects before a Cancer has time to develop.
