Less-developed-region countries (LDCs) are seeing a rapid rise in cancer incidence owing to changing lifestyles, infections, environmental carcinogens and increasing longevity. LDCs have poor resources to deal with cancers, leading to high mortality rates. Investment in nationally implementable and sustainable cancer prevention and screening strategies would be more appropriate for LDCs. This Science and Society article outlines the burden of preventable cancers in selected LDCs and discusses evidence on cost-effective and widely implementable prevention and screening strategies.
欠发达国家（LDCs）由于生活方式的改变、感染、环境致癌物和寿命延长，癌症发病率迅速上升。LDCs 应对癌症的资源匮乏，导致死亡率居高不下。投资于国家可实施和可持续的癌症预防和筛查策略对 LDCs 更为合适。本文概述了选定的 LDCs 中可预防癌症的负担，并讨论了具有成本效益和广泛可实施的预防和筛查策略的证据。
