This review will be restricted to measures aimed at primary prevention of cancer; reduction of the death rate through screening will not be covered. In many instances, cancer prevention is just one outcome of the benefits of good health practices, which may also benefit cardiovascular, lung, infectious, and metabolic diseases. Thus, reducing tobacco smoking will bring benefits in heart disease, neonatal and maternal health, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease as well as a variety of cancers, while dietary advice appropriate to cancer risk reduction will bring benefits in diabetes, stroke, kidney, and heart disease.
本综述将限于旨在癌症一级预防的措施；通过筛查降低死亡率的内容不在讨论范围内。在许多情况下，癌症预防只是健康良好行为带来的诸多益处之一，这些行为对心血管疾病、肺部疾病、传染病和代谢性疾病也可能有益。因此，减少吸烟对心脏病、母婴健康、中风和外周血管疾病以及多种癌症都有益处，而适合降低癌症风险的饮食建议对糖尿病、中风、肾脏疾病和心脏病也有益处。
