The Precautionary Principle on Cancer

The Precautionary Principle in cancer prevention suggests that if a substance or activity is suspected of potentially causing cancer, we should take preventive measures even if there isn’t complete scientific proof yet. It encourages cautious action to limit exposure to possible carcinogens, prioritizing health and safety. This approach aims to reduce risk proactively, rather than waiting for definitive evidence of harm, recognizing that early intervention can protect people from developing cancer over time.
