Objectives	To be able to: Define programme for cancer prevention in average and high-risk populations for cancers that are preventable Define and describe types of preventive therapies, behavioural interventions, and surgical strategies, and list specific populations they are used in
Key Concepts	Identify existing behavioural interventions and local resources to address modifiable cancer risk factors Determine existing preventive therapies, eg, aspirin and endocrine agents, and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines and their indications for use Summarise existing tobacco cessation strategies Demonstrate an understanding of the management of high-risk dysplastic and proliferative lesions to interrupt the initiation or progression to invasive cancers Describe local and national public health efforts to promote community awareness of cancer prevention Recognise the impact of social determinants of health on disparities in cancer incidence Interpret direct to consumer genetic testing
Skills	Demonstrate the ability to: Define primary prevention and to explain relative risk, absolute risks and benefit/risk balance Participate in multidisciplinary care discussions in order to identify healthy individuals who should undergo risk assessment, genetic counselling and gene mutation testing and prevention counselling Discuss evidence-based cancer prevention guidelines, such as smoking cessation, improvement of dietary habits, maintenance of a healthy body mass index, that may alter an individual's risk for developing cancer Discuss and educate about preventive agents (when, how, whom to prescribe, and, most importantly, when to stop it), eg, aspirin use, endocrine therapies, and HPV vaccines that may alter an individual's risk for developing cancer Discuss and educate the public, decision makers and health care providers about evidence-based prevention approaches
