Cancer is a major global health priority due to its high prevalence, mortality, and long-term impact on individuals and healthcare systems. Public health approaches to cancer focus on prevention, early detection, treatment access, and survivorship care. Key preventive strategies include reducing exposure to risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, environmental pollutants, and infections linked to cancer. Screening programs for cancers like breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer help detect disease at earlier, more treatable stages. Public health initiatives also emphasize equitable access to diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care, especially in underserved populations. Cancer surveillance systems track incidence, survival, and mortality trends to guide policy and resource allocation. Through education, research, and policy development, public health plays a critical role in reducing cancer burden and improving population-level outcomes worldwide.
