Abstract

[The main goal of primary prevention of cancer is to reduce the incidence through the reduction of exposure to risk factors for cancer at population level. Where feasible, primary prevention programmes are demonstrated to be largely cost-effective, i.e. the reduction of the burden of disease is achieved with a reasonable money investment, while this is not always the case for secondary prevention programmes.]
