Cancer Prevention and Control

Cancer prevention and control involve strategies to reduce the risk of developing cancer and improve outcomes for those diagnosed. Prevention includes lifestyle choices like maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding tobacco, and limiting alcohol. Screening tests help detect cancer early when treatments are more effective. Control focuses on managing cancer through treatment, support, and rehabilitation, aiming to minimize suffering and improve quality of life. Public health initiatives also promote awareness and education to empower individuals to make informed choices and advocate for better healthcare access, ultimately reducing cancer incidence and mortality in the community.
