Abstract:

All over the world, healthcares are aimed not only to cure sickness but also to prevent them. When we focus our attention in a sickness, the first reflex we have is to find how we can cure our patient. But in cancer matter, most of time we are facing situations in which there is no hope of curing, all because the disease is diagnosed in a advanced stage and all one can do is a palliative care. This last reality is daily ours and obviously no one can handle successfully such a situation in the context of low income country. Therefore, the only way of getting out from this kind of scenario is to focus in primary and secondary prevention in cancer matter. This involves so many factors like cultural, good health policy, education, qualified health professionals, infrastructures and of course enough money.
