The International Cancer Prevention and Control Charitable Foundation was jointly established by the International Society for the Prevention and Treatment of Cancer (ISOPT) and the Hong Kong Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (HKAEF). The foundation will jointly organize the "Hong Kong Cancer Prevention and Control Campaign" with community groups in Hong Kong to fund designated screening for people at high risk of cancer, hoping to detect cancer as early as possible through screening and allow patients to receive timely treatment.

Lam Man-kin, Director of the Department of Health of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, said in a video speech that Hong Kong has the unique advantage of being backed by the motherland and connected to the world. It plays the role of a "super connector" in the process of implementing the national cancer prevention and control strategy and promoting global health cooperation. The International Cancer Prevention and Control Charity Foundation is rooted in Hong Kong and can radiate to mainland China and even around the world. It is expected to create a cancer prevention and control charity platform with international influence.

The foundation will also gradually promote Hong Kong’s experience and knowledge in cancer prevention and control to countries and regions co-building the “Belt and Road” to benefit more people.

Nutritionist’s analysis: Regular consumption of carrots is related to a lower risk of cancer, but it is not evidence of direct cancer prevention.

Nutritionist Lao Gu cited a systematic review and pointed out that consuming about 5 servings (80 grams per serving) of carrots per week is associated with a 20% reduction in cancer risk. However, he emphasized that this was an observational study and only showed an association rather than a causal relationship. He also warned not to mistakenly believe that beta-carotene supplements have anti-cancer effects.
