Strategic subprogrammes
Different research subprogrammes are designed to implement these objectives laid out in the CIBERESP Multiannual Action Plan . Table 4 shows the twelve subprogrammes .
The strategic subprogramme entitled “Multicentre study of population-based cancer cases and controls” (MCC-Spain) remains the most promising initiative among the research programmes in epidemiology and prediction of chronic diseases . The objective of the subprogramme is to explore the influence of environmental factors, and the interaction with genetic factors, in five types of cancer in Spain (breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastroesophageal cancer, prostate cancer and chronic lymphatic leukemia) . The study is designed as a multi-case control study with a common control group, a large sample size (7,000 cases, 3,000 controls) and a single research protocol: questionnaire, biological sample collection and anthropometric measurements . The study was and is still externally funded: Transverse Action in Cancer, Specific Action in Mobility, FIS (ISCIII), European projects, autonomous community projects and an international project .
