Adherence to the Cancer Prevention Recommendations from World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research After Cancer Diagnosis on Mortality in South Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

The World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research recommends following the recommendations for cancer prevention even after cancer diagnosis.
