REVIEW ARTICLE

Cancer Prevention: A Global Perspective

Bernard W. Stewart, Alan S. Coates

From the South East Sydney Public Health Unit, Randwick; and The Cancer Council Australia and the University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia

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.

Authors' disclosures of potential conflicts of interest are found at the end of this article.
