Primary Prevention of Colorectal Tumors

  • Chapter
Causes and Control of Colorectal Cancer

Part of the book series: Developments in Oncology ((DION,volume 78))

Abstract

The essence of prevention of illness, including cancer, is the ability of individuals, groups, and of society in general to make changes in behavior.

It seems certain that cancer is to a very great extent preventable. Conquest of predisposition is possible. But the degree of justifiable hope will depend on the strength of the will.
