It aims to address the social, environmental, and behavioral factors that contribute to the development and spread of cancer. This field involves studying the epidemiology of cancer, identifying risk factors, promoting cancer prevention measures, and implementing effective screening and early detection programs. Additionally, it explores ways to improve access to quality cancer care, enhance patient outcomes, and reduce health disparities.
