SPO is the forum of an international membership committed to the study of interactive etiologic factors in cancer development and their impact on prevention, detection, and management of neoplastic diseases.
ISPO fosters:
- primary prevention of cancer through identification and control of cancer causes, and identification of high risk individuals
- secondary prevention through detection and management of occult cancer and precursor lesions
ISPO promotes continuing education in areas of:
- molecular biology of carcinogenesis, immunovirology, genetics and environmental influences;
- role of lifestyle including sexual practices, nutrition and tobacco as cancer causing factors and their socio-economic impact;
- improved methods for immunoprevention and chemoprevention, detection, management and surveillance of various types of cancer;
- risk assessment, predictive markers, novel therapies
ISPO Activities
