We should promote positive actions of the government, society and individuals, create a healthy supportive environment, carry out extensive publicity on cancer prevention, enhance the awareness and ability of cancer prevention and control in the whole society, effectively curb the social harm caused by cancer, and effectively reduce the burden of cancer diseases. To seek "well-being" for the health of the masses.
