Mancini said Monday, “We have to reduce the number of matches played by the players. As for here, we increase the number significantly, while we have to reduce it so that the players can catch their breath a bit.”

He added, “We will reach a moment when the players will be very exhausted.”

Mancini has a contract with the Italian Federation until 2026, when the World Cup will be held in the United States, Mexico and Canada, where 48 teams will participate in this version instead of 32, bringing the number of matches from 64 to 104.

According to the new system, the teams will be divided into 12 groups of 4 teams, provided that the first and second of each group, in addition to the best 8 teams that occupy third place in their groups, qualify for the round of 32.

The semi-finalists will also play eight matches instead of seven, as happened in the last edition of the World Cup.

It is a fact, some cancers are linked to preventable risk factors. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), 41% of cancers are considered preventable. This means that their appearance is linked to risk behaviors such as tobacco, alcohol or unhealthy food.

Through a campaign broadcast from April 3 to 21, 2021, “Make the right choices now, you’ll thank yourself later”, the National Cancer Institute (INCa) hopes to raise awareness the French to avoidable risk factors for cancer.

“Behaviors and lifestyle habits can have a huge impact on our health and in particular on the risk of developing cancer. While every year, nearly half of new cancer cases might be avoidedthanks to everyday gestures, the French seem not always to perceive the right weight of preventable risk factors on the occurrence of the disease”, reports the INCa in a press release.

INCa targets in particular the tobacco and alcohol consumption, unbalanced diet and sedentary lifestyle. “Four behaviors that should be adjusted today for better health tomorrow”.

What are preventable cancers?

Cancers may be linked to certain so-called “internal” risk factors. These may relate to our age or to our family history. Indeed, although cancers can appear at any age, they are more frequent as we age. “This is due to the accumulation of aggressions suffered by the cells and, probably, to a reduced efficiency of DNA repair mechanisms“, explains The League once morest cancer.

In addition, some people have a higher risk of developing cancer than others since birth, they have certain mutations in one or more of their genes. Less than 1 cancer in 10 would have an origin hereditary.

On the other hand, other risk factors are linked to our behavior. These are referred to as “external” risk factors. They are related to our way of life or our environment. “Sometimes underestimated, yet they are responsible for more cases of cancer than those caused by age or heredity. It is thus estimated that 4 out of 10 cancers might be prevented“. This is particularly the case for lung cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer or liver cancer.

What behaviors should be adjusted to prevent risks? Answers in pictures. INCa reviews the good habits to adopt today to protect you tomorrow.

The publication of cardio-oncology recommendations, drafted under the aegis of the ESC, constitutes a major advance in terms of visibility, structuring and organization of care pathways.

This special file is an opportunity for the cardio-oncology group to continue the work of analyzing and disseminating these recommendations.

We will successively address the management of venous thromboembolic disease (C. Frère), the evaluation of the risk of cardiotoxicity under anti-HER2 (A. Bouali), hypertension (PY Courand), and the lengthening of the QT interval (G. Bailly) under chemotherapy.
