Want to bring more movement into cancer prevention: Professor Dr. Uwe Tegtbur ( left ) and Heiner Wedemeyer. Copyright: Karin Kaiser/MHH The MHH is participating in the EU project PIECES and aims to reduce the risk of cancer and improve liver health with personalized exercise programs. About three million people in the European Union are affected by cancer. For 1.34 million of them, the disease is fatal. However, around 40 percent of cancer cases could be prevented through effective prevention strategies such as a healthier lifestyle and early detection. To achieve this, the EU has set up the "Mission Cancer" funding line, which supports cancer prevention projects. One of these is the PIECES project, a consortium of 16 members from ten EU countries, in which Hannover Medical School (MHH) is also involved with the Clinic for Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Infectiology and Endocrinology and the Clinic for Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine.
