Abstract
From the wisdom of experience and years, our grandparents used to say: 'Prevention is better than cure'. Nurses also want to prevent rather than cure cancer and follow that old said. Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in the world and the incidence is expected to keep increasing every year[1]. And while there is an improvement in cancer survival due to developments on treatments; the diagnosis, treatment and survivorship entails a high burden for patients, for communities and for health systems.
