A public health agenda for cancer prevention and control is presented that is based upon scientific evidence from epidemiologic studies. This agenda gives priority to primary prevention focused upon tobacco, diet, sexual activity, alcohol, sunlight, and physical activity. In addition, secondary prevention or screening is discussed, comparing ACS guidelines and NCI statements. The immediate task for public health is to develop cancer prevention programs that will eliminate the disparity in cancer morbidity and mortality across racial and ethnic groups and reduce risk in all segments of the population.
本文提出了一项基于流行病学研究科学证据的癌症预防与控制公共卫生议程。该议程优先关注以烟草、饮食、性行为、酒精、阳光和体育活动为重点的一级预防。此外，还讨论了二级预防或筛查，并比较了美国癌症协会（ACS）的指南和美国国立癌症研究所（NCI）的声明。公共卫生的当务之急是制定癌症预防计划，以消除不同种族和族裔群体在癌症发病率和死亡率方面的差异，并降低所有人群的风险。
