This Science and Society article outlines the burden of preventable cancers in selected less-developed-region countries (LDCs) and discusses evidence on cost-effective and widely implementable prevention and screening strategies. As LDCs typically have poor resources to treat cancers, the authors argue that investment in sustainable cancer prevention and screening strategies would be the best option to reduce cancer-related mortality in most LDCs.
