NameEPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition)
AcronymEPIC
DescriptionA prospective cohort study designed to investigate the relationship between nutrition and cancer, with the potential for studying other diseases as well. The EPIC study is among the largest studies on diet and cancer with more than than one-half million participants recruited between 1992 and 2000 in 23 centers in 10 European countries. It includes the following cohorts: Diet, Cancer and Health (Denmark); E3N Cohort Study (France); Heidelberg and Potsdam (Germany); EPIC-Greece cohort (Greece); Milan, Florence, Naples, Turin and Ragusa (Italy); Norwegian Women and Cancer Study (NOWAC, Norway); Asturias, Granada, Navarra, Murcia and San Sebastian (Spain); Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) and Västerbotten Intervention Project (VIP) in Umea (Sweden); MORGEN-EPIC in Bilthoven and Prospect-EPIC in Utrecht (The Netherlands); EPIC-Oxford and EPIC-Norfolk (United Kingdom).
