Preventing Cancers (Hardcover)

Cancers will always be with us, but it is now thought that four out of five cancers could be prevented. Preventive action is therefore an urgent priority. But how is this to be carried out and what part can health professionals and others play in it?;In "Preventing Cancers" more than 25 international experts on cancers, health promotion and preventive medicine discuss the latest theoretical developments and debates, and provide practical guidance on action in cancer prevention. The book has been produced as part of the European Commission's "Europe Against Cancer" programme and is aimed at public health physicians, general practitioners, nurses, policy makers, cancer specialists, health care teachers and all those involved in cancer prevention.
