Prospects for the primary prevention of these cancers are discouraging at present because few of the risk factors identified to date are readily subject to modification, especially for breast cancer, and the underlying etiologies of these cancers are not well understood, particularly for breast and ...
For instance, randomized trials have shown that taking tamoxifen for 5 years reduces breast cancer risk for 20 years, but the adverse effects stop after the medication is stopped.2 Despite this, use of medications for primary prevention of breast cancer has been low.3 Reasons for low uptake ...

This chapter discusses about the environmental risk factors on cancer and their primary prevention. For estimation of environmental risk factors due to excess or deficiency of trace elements, computer simulation of concentrations in the natural environment is considered to be useful. Coincidence of enviro...

Nevertheless, it would be even more interesting to focus on reducing the incidence of CRC through primary prevention interventions taking into account that one of the most obvious limitations is the relative infrequency of transformation of small adenomas to cancer [5]; more than 90% of adenomas ...
The organization of health-care delivery in primary care practices plays a key role in cancer prevention, and the targeting of specific populations is also supported by the evidence. We raise the issue of balancing the potential benefits and harms of screening and the need to inform patients of...
