Having been first mooted in 1998, it was begun in 2000; above all, it was hailed as the widest ranging scientific project, given that it was to benefit from the involvement of no less than 12 countries from all over the world and from an exemplary protocol, and was thus considered most likely to ascertain what risks were posed by specific types of cancer. However, the findings have yet to be produced and have been awaited since 2006.
Initiée en 1998, entamée en 2000, et surtout annoncée comme le projet scientifique le plus complet, puisqu' impliquant pas moins de 12 États au plan mondial avec un protocole exemplaire afin d'augmenter au maximum la capacité de déceler les risques de certains types de cancer, ses conclusions se font toujours attendre, et ce depuis 2006.
