What LILT Padova- Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori - Associazione di Padova does

LILT Padova (Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori - Associazione Provinciale di Padova ETS) is an Italian non-profit association established in 1975, affiliated with the national LILT network, focused on cancer prevention across Padova and Rovigo provinces. The organization delivers free oncological screening visits, early diagnosis services, psychological support for patients and families, and health education programs through multiple channels: three outpatient clinics (Padova headquarters, Arcella district, Albignasego), a mobile prevention unit (Spazio Prevenzione Mobile/Tour della Prevenzione) that reaches public squares across the province, school-based curricula (Costruire Salute), and workplace wellness programs. Specialized initiatives include Progetto Luisa (early breast cancer screening for women aged 35-44 with family history), Progetto Rinascita (psycho-physical support for cancer patients), clinical nutrition services, and reconstructive dermopigmentation for breast cancer survivors.

The organization funds its operations entirely through charitable contributions, with no fees charged to patients. Revenue streams comprise private donations, the Italian 5x1000 tax designation program, annual membership fees (soci), corporate partnerships under the 'Azienda amica' program, legacy bequests, and event-based fundraising (e.g., Pigiama Run with 1,554 participants in 2025). Institutional and foundation partners include Fondazione Cariparo (school program funder since 2012), Komen Italia ETS, Lions Clubs International Foundation, ANDI, and Regione Veneto.

A new 1,000-square-meter consolidated prevention center, Spazio LILT, is under construction in Padova for 2026, intended to merge existing outpatient activities into a single modern facility. The organization employs 61 staff, operates under EU GDPR compliance, and is governed by a Consiglio Direttivo elected in December 2024 for the 2025-2029 term.
