Resumo(s)

Between 2002 and 2012 almost 24% of deaths registered in Portugal originated from malignant diseases (INE, 2014). According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer in the coming years as a consequence of demographic evolution and exposure to risk factors, the incidence of oncology diseases is expected to increase. According to the WHO (2005) it is expected that 40% of cancer might be avoided if the main risk factors could be modified. The Implementation of preventive measures, most of low cost but poorly applied, depends on systematic evaluation of national risk factors (WHO, 2007).
