Fulfilling the Potential for Cancer Prevention and Early Detection reviews the proof that we can dramatically reduce cancer rates. The National Cancer Policy Board, part of the Institute of Medicine, outlines a national strategy to realize the promise of cancer prevention and early detection, including specific and wide-ranging recommendations. Offering a wealth of information and directly addressing major controversies, the book includes: A detailed look at how significantly cancer could be reduced through lifestyle changes, evaluating approaches used to alter eating, smoking, and exercise habits. An analysis of the intuitive notion that screening for cancer leads to improved health outcomes, including a discussion of screening methods, potential risks, and current recommendations. An examination of cancer prevention and control opportunities in primary health care delivery settings, including a review of interventions aimed at improving provider performance. Reviews of professional education and training programs, research trends and opportunities, and federal programs that support cancer prevention and early detection. This in-depth volume will be of interest to policy analysts, cancer and public health specialists, health care administrators and providers, researchers, insurers, medical journalists, and patient advocates. 517 3 $aCancer prevention and early detection 606 $aCancer$zUnited States$xPrevention 606 $aTumors 615 0$aCancer$xPrevention. 615 0$aTumors. 676 $a616.99/4052 701 $aCurry$b Susan J$01809718 701 $aByers$b Tim$01809719 701 $aHewitt$b Maria Elizabeth$01472895 712 02$aNational Cancer Policy Board (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974916803321 996 $aFulfilling the potential of cancer prevention and early detection$94360650 997 $aUNINA
