Europa Uomo

Europa Uomo believes that quality of life should at the top of decision makers’ agendas. Quality of life for men with prostate cancer – and those close to them – is intrinsic to all Europa Uomo’s work. Early diagnosis brings quality of life benefits because the effects of cancer and its treatments are likely to be far greater if diagnosed late. Joint decision making about treatment and high quality, personalised treatment in specialised centres can also bring better quality of life. PRAISE-U is an international project that could lead to organised prostate cancer screening programmes becoming a reality across Europe. Funded by the European Union, its main objective is to develop a framework (or “protocol”) for how effective prostate cancer screening might be implemented in the real world. The aim is the introduction of screening programmes which identify potentially harmful prostate cancer in the maximum number of men. Europa Uomo is a patient advocacy group focused on prostate cancer, providing support and resources for patients and their families. They have developed an AI online assistant to answer questions related to prostate cancer, promoting awareness and education.
