See Latest ArticlesDo older people perceive cancer prevention and early detection to be worthwhile? Implications for prevention
The Australian Journal of Primary Health, 06/11/09
Ngune I et al. - Most participants reported not adhering to preventive actions for cancer. Many did not perceive the benefits if the actions are initiated after the age of 60 years, and some risk factors were not perceived to be related to cancer. There was strong agreement that screening for cancer was worthwhile after the age of 60 years. It appears that awareness programs specifically tailored to seniors may be desirable to promote cancer prevention within a context of chronic disease prevention in general.
