Opportunities and
strategies for effective
cancer prevention

Global burden of cancer
• The burden of cancer is huge and growing
• Cancer accounted for 7.9 million deaths in
2007, about 80% in low- and middle-income
countries. (WHO, Fact Sheet, July 2008)
• Cancer
– A development issue
– An equity issue
The looming disaster in
developing countries
Sum of:
• Mainly poverty-related tumours (cervical,
oesophagus, liver)
• Tumours linked to Western style of life
(breast, lung, prostate, colorectal)
• Lack of primary and secondary prevention
• Lack of resources for treatment
Only about 5% of global resources for cancer
are spent in developing countries.
UICC - 342 members, 108 countries

World Cancer Declaration (2008)
‘A global call to action to help substantially reduce the global cancer
burden by 2020 and increase cancer's visibility on the
international political agenda.’
• Priority actions at local and national levels.
• 11 targets and a priority action plan to stop and reverse current
trends.
• Aimed towards significant improvements in the measurement of
the global cancer burden and in cancer survival rates in all
countries around the world.

It is difficult to prove cancer
prevention interventions “work”
because:
1. Interventions need to be strong enough to
reduce exposure to carcinogen
2. Carcinogenic process occurs over many
years
3. Difficulty of sustaining behaviour change over
a long time
Cancer prevention opportunities:
environment and occupational exposures
Asbestos, arsenic in drinking water, food
contaminants (eg aflatoxins, pesticides)
radiation
Indoor domestic air pollution (estimated
420,000 premature deaths in China)*
*Zhang et al Environmental Health Perspectives 2007 115:500-513
Cancer prevention opportunities:
diet and dietary supplementation
Work in progress!
Clear guidelines for action not available
Cancer prevention opportunities:
medications
Causation
Combined oestrogen plus progestin
– breast
Prevention
Oral contraceptives
-endometrium
Aspirin
-colon *
Selective oestrogen receptor modulators - breast**
(eg Tamoxifen, Raloxifene)
*note negative cardiovascular and other effects
**reduction in breast cancer risk outweighs increased risk of uterine cancer
Cancer prevention opportunities:
infection control
Chronic infection due to• Helicobacter pylori (stomach, lymphoma)
• Human papilloma virus (cervix, mouth, pharynx)
• Hepatitis B, C (liver)
• Epstein-Barr virus (nasopharynx, Hodgkin, Burkitt)
• HIV (Kaposi, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma)
• Human herpes virus 8 (Kaposi, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma,
schistosoma haematobium)
Proportion of cancer due to infections
• Developing world = 26%
• Developed world = 8%
Cancer prevention opportunities:
behavioural risk factors (1)
Smoking
Cancer of lung, mouth, oesophagus, larynx, bladder, pancreas,
stomach, cervix, AML.
Alcohol
Cancer of mouth, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus, liver, breast,
colon, rectum.
Physical inactivity
Colon (“convincing”),
post-menopausal breast, endometrium (“probable”),
lung, pancreas, pre-menopausal breast (“suggestive”)
Cancer prevention opportunities:
behavioural risk factors (2)
Weight control
Oesophagus, colon, rectum,
endometrium, kidney, post-menopausal
breast*
Sun exposure
Melanoma, basal and squamous
carcinoma of skin
* Evidence of intervention effect on cancer rate Eliassen et al JAMA 2006 296:193-210
Tobacco control: do we focus on
prevention or cessation?
• Preventing uptake – 20+ year lag in impact
on disease rates
• Cessation – disease impacts seen within 5
years
• Uptake rates dependent adult smoking
prevalence
• Therefore, cessation strategies essential
Continuing cigarette smoking
Stopped age 60
Stopped age 50
Stopped age 40
Stopped age 30
Lifelong non-smokers
Peto et al. 2000 (93)
Cancer risk begins falling within 5
years of quitting
Continuing smokers
Nurses Health Study 1980-2004; Kenfield, S. A. et al. JAMA 2008;299:2037-2047.
If more adults smoke, then more
adolescents smoke

Melbourne Collaborative Cohort
Study
• 41,000 Victorians (17,000 men and 24,000 women)
followed for 17 years
• At baseline (1990-1994) we measured:
– Height
– Weight
– Waist and hip circumference
• 47% of men and 46% of women had waist
measurements that put them in the overweight/obese
category
• Identified cancers from the Cancer Registry
Waist measurement versus Body
Mass Index (BMI)
• Waist circumference was a better indicator
than BMI of risk of several cancers
• Waist is easier for people to measure than
BMI
What we found: relative risk for
diagnosis of cancer for 10cm

Chapter 3
Achieving behavioural
changes in individuals
and populations
David Hill, Helen Dixon
In: Elwood JM, Sutcliffe SB (Eds).
Cancer Control, Oxford: Oxford University
Press, Chapter 3, 2010, pp 43-61
The Big Five principles of
behaviour change
Repeated and habitual behaviour is determined by extent to
which a person:
conscious motivation
• wants to do it,
modelling
• sees others doing it,
resources, self-efficacy
• has the capacity to do it,
memory and prompting
• remembers to do it,
reinforcement - positive or
• is rewarded for doing it,
negative
or suffers for not doing it.
*Hill D, Dixon H, Achieving behavioural changes in individuals and populations; in 'Cancer
Control' edited J. M. Elwood, S. B. Sutcliffe, Oxford Univ. Press, Oxford 2009.
Motivation
Principle
Example
Behaviour is planned on the
basis of reasoning in order to
satisfy personal needs and
goals
Using argument and visual
evidence to change the belief
that a suntan enhances
physical appearance
The more positively valued
outcomes & the more social
approval expected from
engaging in a particular
behaviour, the more likely is
that behaviour to occur
Mass media campaigns
NEARLY ALWAYS USED, BUT A RELATIVELY WEAK
PRINCIPLE WHEN USED ALONE
Motivation
Child measures
father’s waist
circumference to
find he is at
increased risk of
cancer
Modelling
Principle
Example
Some behaviours can be
learned by observation
Swimming pool lifeguards
wore hats, sunscreen and
protective clothing while on
duty
Behaviour more likely to be
copied if seen in liked /
admired other person or if
seen to produce a desired
outcome
Many elements of Australian
SunSmart campaigns
(Objective) Capacity
Principle
Example
Behaviour can only occur if
resources are available
Providing shade structures
in school playgrounds
Source: Dobbinson et al, BMJ, 2009
(Subjective) Capacity
Principle
Example
Self-efficacy beliefs help
determine behaviour and
these can be changed by
training
Belief in one’s ability to take
action (self-efficacy) can be
changed by training, e.g.
training people to prepare
suitable meals
Remembering
Principle
Example
Intended behaviours can be
- forgotten
- put off
Reminders serve to bring
intended behaviour to
- top of mind
- “today’s agenda” for
action
Any mass media campaign
SMS on smoking cessation
to prompt quitting
Can mobile phone text
messaging increase quitting in
Smokers?
Randomized controlled trial
1705 smokers over 15 in New Zealand
4 weeks of free, tailored text messages about quitting
Educational content as well as prompts
Source: Rodgers et al, Tobacco Control, 2005
Reinforcement: positive and negative
Principle
Example
Probability of an action being
repeated is increased if it is
followed by a desirable
(positive) experience
Rapid, pro-active notification of
“good news” to those who get
the all-clear in screening
programs
Life insurance discounts for
smokers who quit
Probability of an action being
repeated is decreased if it is not
Raising the cost of smoking
followed by a desirable
experience or if it is followed by through taxation
an undesirable (negative)
experience
VERY STRONG PRINCIPLE, CAN BE HARD TO IMPLEMENT

Conclusion
• There are established principles of behaviour change to
guide us
• Cancer-related population behaviour CAN be changed
• Multiple, co-ordinated, sustained strategies are needed
• In time, behaviour change will be reflected in changed
cancer rates
• Commitment, patience, persistence (and probably politics!)

• Overall, one quarter agreed with the
statement:
“Once a person has cancer not much can be
done to cure it”
