Abstract: Cancer is a leading cause of death at worldwide, European and national level. Deaths from cancer worldwide are projected to continue to rise from 7,6 million in 2008 to 11 million in 2030. There is a different distribution of cancer incidence and mortality in men and women. The risk factors are many, but 30% of the cancers are due to five main risk factors that can be intervened upon.
