The Cancer Prevention at Work project is working for the incorporation of cancer-related infection surveillance in ongoing primary occupational health surveillance programs. The three pilot studies include the workers from the greenhouse industry and promoting inclusivity, gender equality, gender equity, and disabilities.

Understanding Helicobacter Pylori (Hp)

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a widespread pathogen, affecting approximately half of the world’s population. Infections are typically acquired during childhood, especially in densely populated areas with inadequate sanitation.

Due to its association with non-cardia gastric cancer and mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, Hp has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen (like smoke for lung cancer).

Early detection is crucial to prevent the infection from developing into cancer and other serious health complications.

The CPW Pilot Study for Hp

The CPW Intervention focuses on the early detection of Hp through blood sample and stool antigenic test, identifying subjects at higher risk of gastric cancer, with possibility of primary prevention through Hp eradication.

Intervention Breakdown
Step by step

When you attend your health surveillance visit…

The doctor will inform you about the intervention

You will complete an informed consent and a questionnaire to complete the enrolment.

You will undergo a screening test designed to
identify the presence of Helicobacter pylori.

You will receive the result of your test.

Your household members will be informed about this infection and recommended to undergo a test to detect Helicobacter pylori.

6 months later you will receive a follow-up questionnaire.

Participating in the CPW Pilot Study

The Cancer Prevention at Work Project is dedicated to developing and implementing innovative surveillance protocols targeting infection-related cancers, including those associated with Hp, in occupational health surveillance visits through targeted pilot interventions across diverse worker groups.
