PRAISE-U launches encouraging early detection of prostate cancer

The EU4Health programme has approved PRAISE-U (PRostate cancer Awareness and Initiative for Screening in the European Union), an ambitious three-year project involving 25 institutions from 12 countries. PRAISE-U’s mission is to design a nationally-tailored cost-effective early detection algorithm for prostate cancer screening in the EU to reduce morbidity and mortality caused by prostate cancer while avoiding overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
