On Monday, February 11, the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) announced the completion of work on the Guidelines for Cancer Prevention (ESMO Handbook of Cancer Prevention). This book was created in order to help individuals, doctors and governments reduce the burden of oncological diseases on society.
