Changes in cancer mortality trends in Europe and the USA are correlated with changes in the environment. Active prevention by means of antioxidants and antiproliferative agents etc should be used more extensively and advertisements regarding tobacco habits should rely more on methods intended to project a negative image of smokers. At the present time, anticancer therapies lengthen the survival of patients, which could induce bias in statistics. In the future it seems likely that they will play a greater role against cancer than early detection. Nevertheless, efforts should be made in this direction, at least with regard to young people due to the decreasing mean age of the appearance of several tumors.
欧洲和美国癌症死亡率趋势的变化与环境变化相关。应更广泛地使用抗氧化剂和抗增殖剂等进行积极预防，关于吸烟习惯的宣传应更多地依赖于旨在塑造吸烟者负面形象的方法。目前，抗癌疗法延长了患者的生存期，这可能会在统计数据中产生偏差。未来，抗癌疗法在对抗癌症方面似乎可能比早期检测发挥更大的作用。然而，至少对于年轻人，由于几种肿瘤出现的平均年龄在下降，应在这方面做出努力。
