Breast and prostrate.Lung cancer can be directly linked to excessive consumption of alcohol and tobacco in earlyor later stages of life. The other reasons can also be physical inactivity, unhealthy lifestyles, improper diet charts and substance abuse.The current approaches and priorities of different healthcare organisation is supporting and providing effective clinical interventions for all the types of cancer. There should be different approaches to the service provision in healthcare management in order to reduce the impact and severity of cancer in different parts of world.Primordial Prevention: With the implementation of effective legislations and strategies the early signs of cancer were identified and prevented in UK but due to improper plan of action and methodsthe primordial prevention was not conducted appropriately in major parts of the world.
