Abstract:
Tobacco and diet account for almost two-thirds of all cancer-related deaths and are among the most correctable risk factors. Up to 35% of cancer-related deaths could be avoided if appropriate screening measures were used. Research on the use of vaccines to treat or prevent cancer has intensified. Pharmacists can play a major role in women's health by acting as patient advocates, serving as referral sources, and recommending supportive care.
