Throughout May, the European Society of Coloproctology is proud to support UEG's Digestive Health Month campaign, which this year shines a spotlight on prevention and early detection of digestive diseases. Two key themes are driving the campaign: Nutrition and Digestive Health - Unhealthy diets, including the rise of ultra-processed foods, are a leading but preventable driver of digestive diseases and cancers across Europe. The campaign calls for systemic, policy-driven action to improve food environments and promote healthier choices. Digestive Cancer Screening - Early detection saves lives. With digestive cancers among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in Europe, expanding access to screening programmes is essential for better outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. Join the conversation, explore infographics, key messages, and position papers, and help spread the word about digestive health this May! https://ueg.eu/public-affairs/more/digestive-health-month#nutrition
