Abstract

Abstract: All over the world, the
prevalence of cancer is increasing day by day with the increasing incidence of
cancers and cancer-related mortality rates in Turkey. Cancer is one of the most
important health problems due to frequent occurrence, high cost of treatment
with mortality and morbidity, side effects that it creates. Taking precaution responsibilities
against cancer is important among the health professionals, especially nurses. It
is known that many well-known risk factors such as smoking, infections,
avoidance of exposure to radiation, as well as healthy lifestyle behaviors such
as healthy eating and physical exercise are effective in protecting from many
types of cancer. Therefore, cancer risk factors and ways of protection should
be known and publicized by health professionals.
