title: Population-based cancer screening.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To provide an overview of current issues surrounding the prevention of and screening for lung, breast, cervical, colorectal, ovarian, prostate, and skin cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  Original research, review articles, and published guidelines.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Although morbidity and mortality rates have decreased for these cancers, prevention and early detection still require increased funding and research.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  More behavioral scientists must be trained in prevention and early detection of cancer, and increased research funding is necessary to encourage advances in primary and secondary prevention.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Oncology nurses should incorporate appropriate prevention and early-detection strategies into practice.
