Cancer Epidemiology & Prevention

Cancer epidemiology is the distribution, determinants, and frequency of malignant disease in specific populations. The objective is to define causative factors to formulate preventive strategies for control of the disease. Epidemiology assessment provides a quantification of cancer risk, outlines the basis for screening modalities for high-risk populations, and determines the efficacy of any preventive intervention.

Cancer prevention is a practice of taking active measures to decrease the incidence of cancer and mortality. The prevention is reliant on both individual determination to improve lifestyle and socioeconomic policy associated to cancer prevention.
