title: [Preventing cancer of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts].
abstract: In 2003, the Prévart association, in collaboration with community practitioners and the hospital, set up in Béthune, then in Lens, a plan for the detection and prevention of cancers of the upper air and digestive passages particularly widespread in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais department. Thanks to a central appointment desk and to the detection work of nurses, patients have been able to benefit from fast and adapted treatment.
