Prevention is a key component of all national cancer control programs.
It is estimated that up to 30% of cancer is preventable by effective cancer
prevention programs. Tobacco control has the largest effect and so is always
the anchor of an integrated prevention program. The slide lists the areas
where prevention activities can have an effect. The particular combination
used in any country depends on the relative incidence and mortality at
particular cancer sites characteristic of the country’s population.
