Messages for communication should be carefully adapted to the situation and target audience, and include comprehensive strategies for prevention and control of cervical cancer (vaccination of young girls, screening and treatment of older women). Messaging should include evidence-based technical information, along with political and emotional information and story-telling when appropriate. See Annex 2 for specific messages for target audiences.

Prostate cancer is a major cause of death among men with over 56 000 deaths in the European Union in 1998. There are no obvious preventive strategies therefore screening has been considered to reduce the number of deaths. Opportunistic screening is widely carried out but there are no known national programmes to screen for prostate cancer. Mass screening should not be introduced at the national level unless supportive evidence is available from the ongoing screening or treatment trials. HEN initiated and coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe is an information service for public health and health care decision-makers in the WHO European Region. Other interested parties might also benefit from HEN. This HEN evidence report is a commissioned work and the contents are the responsibility of the authors.
