control strategy, gender, tobaccoAbstract
The gender perspective has been part of most analyses of the impact of cancer, given its obvious importance. In this article, we will briefly explore three types of data supporting this statement, the incidence and differential mortality according to gender, the survival rates observed and behavior with regard to risk factors such as tobacco. Lastly, we will discuss their possible consequences for Spain’s cancer control strategy. Any cancer control target proposed must consider the importance of the gender perspective.
