Psycho‐oncology and primary prevention in cancer control plans: an absent voice?

ConclusionsPsycho‐oncology input is needed to prescribe evidence‐based interventions in cancer plans that not only educate, regulate and provide resources but also motivate, empower and create a supportive normative environment for behaviour change. In this manuscript, and throughout this Special Issue on Cancer Prevention, important principles, ideas and evidence within psycho‐oncology are outlined which, if properly implemented, can help reduce the global cancer burden.
