In the field of @entity5 prevention, the public ask to be involved more actively in scientific research and in the production of knowledge. This is leading to an increase of participatory projects in the field of epidemiology. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has received considerable attention in the past 15 years; it is becoming a recognized and important approach in addressing health disparities in @entity5 prevention. The increasing accessibility of new methods of comparison, discussion and information allows to link a large number of @entity1 . The project DianaWeb was born in 2015 at the Department of Predictive Medicine and Prevention of the National @entity5 Institute, Milan. This CBPR involves @entity1 with diagnosis of @entity0 ( @entity0 ). DianaWeb communications are based on an interactive online platform developed "ad hoc" (www.dianaweb.org). With very few exceptions, all communication between @entity1 and research team will be on the web. The recruitment is done through Internet, hospitals, physicians, media and @entity2133 . @entity1 can join the project independently, under the control of researchers and the aim of the study is to assess whether healthy eating and regular physical activity can improve the quality of life and increase survival rates in @entity1 with diagnosis of @entity0 . About 50,000 Italian @entity1 with a diagnosis of @entity0 with or without @entity3 , local recurrence or second @entity5 ; with in situ or invasive @entity5 , whatever the disease stage at diagnosis, whatever histological diagnosis, whatever the time elapsed since diagnosis should be recruited in the DianaWeb project. The volunteers are asked to send clinical information about their condition from diagnosis onwards, on their weight and other anthropometric measures, lifestyles and nutrition through online questionnaires. Moreover, the @entity1 enrolled in the study, after login, can access evidence-based information and results obtained during the project (individual and whole community data). Volunteers can also contribute to the growth of knowledge about lifestyles to be adopted by sharing recipes, movement strategies, how to manage the change in daily practice, which will be judged by the researchers to verify the compliance with the recommendations provided before networking.
