Abstract

In France, part of 40 % of preventable cancers can be attributed to lifestyle habits. Epidemiological data show that occupational exposures are a major cause of these cancers. However, despite this evidence, the prevention actions promoted by public authorities are focused on changing individual behaviors. In this article, we seek to understand the reasons of the erasure of the role of socio-environmental factors in cancer prevention discourse.<br /> (© 2023 médecine/sciences – Inserm.)
