PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - The prevention of disease has become an increasingly important focus in the past two decades for patients, their health care providers, and insurers.1-3 Worldwide, scientists and population health experts are uncovering the impact that genetics and the environment, individually and in combination, have on the development of particular diseases. Heart disease has historically been the leading cause of death in the United States and remains a focus for primary prevention through pharmacologic (aspirin, statins) and lifestyle interventions (tobacco cessation, weight loss, diet modification).4,5 Cancer however was a “close second” as a cause for death in the United States in 2010 and is expected to surpass heart disease as the primary cause for mortality in the next decade.6 Cancer prevention, therefore is positioned to become an important adjunct to primary cancer therapy.
