Leon Institute of Hair Design Institute Cancer Prevention Paper

/in /by

Cancer prevention is a major concern for many health care providers worldwide. It is important that health care administrators and educators understand the inherent and behavioral risk factors for each type of cancer, as well as how the relationship between inherent and behavioral risk factors differs in individuals and populations. This is the focus of your Discussion.

For this Discussion:

To Prepare:

  • Review the list of leading types of cancer provided in this week’s Resources.
  • Identify articles on cancer causes and evidence-based prevention strategies.
  • Select one type of cancer to explore in your Discussion post.
  • Identify at least two articles on this type of cancer.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of the difference between inherent versus behavioral risk factors as they relate to causing cancer, in general. Then, for the type of cancer you selected, identify one inherent and one behavioral risk factor and explain how the relationship between these risks may differ between populations. Be specific and provide examples.
