Targeted interventions can substantially reduce the incidences of cancers worldwide and should include prevention strategies to decrease or eliminate certain lifestyle factors including tobacco avoidance and the cessation of smoking, a reduction in obesity and alcohol consumption, an increase in physical activity, and the implementation of vaccination programs for liver and cervical cancer, as well as effective early detection programs for colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer. Support groups and transportation to cancer centers are good strategies but do not decrease the risk of developing cancer.
