Researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) launched a new project focused on the implementation of gastric cancer prevention strategies in the European Union (EU) in Riga, Latvia, on 30 March 2023. This major EU initiative, known as the Towards gastric cancer screening implementation in the European Union (TOGAS) project, aims to provide the missing evidence base for effective gastric cancer prevention in the EU by assessing the needs of EU Member States and target populations in gastric cancer prevention, evaluating various gastric cancer prevention strategies for implementation in the EU by conducting pilot studies in different countries, and ensuring the sustainability and scale-up of the TOGAS results by global dissemination of information.
