Cancer Prevention Ambitions
1. Create a “tobacco free” UK by 2035 (less than 5% prevalence)
2. Stall and see a decline in the proportion of adults who are overweight and obese and see a significant decline in the proportion of children who are overweight and obese
3. Reduce overall consumption of alcohol with an emphasis on hazardous and harmful drinking
4. Stall or reduce the incidence of melanoma, through limiting harmful UV radiation exposure

• Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of cancer, accounting for 54,300 cases in the UK each year
• Smoking cessation is relevant for primary and secondary prevention
• Preventing smoking uptake is also important in reducing tobacco-related cancers in the future
Smoking and Cancer

Stop Smoking Services Slashed
• 31% of local authorities no longer have a specialist stop smoking service (as of January 2020)
• Local authority spending on SSS and tobacco control declined by 36% between 2014/15 & 2018/29
• In 23% of local authorities, GPs no longer prescribe NRT
• 3% of LAs have completely removed any provision – affecting at least 100,000 smokers

Alcohol and Cancer
• Alcohol is responsible for around 11,900 cancers in the UK every year
• A large proportion of head and neck cancers are caused by alcohol – e.g. 30% of UK mouth cancers
• But because the underlying risk is higher, alcohol is responsible for more cases of breast and bowel cancer – a combined total of around 8,000 cases a year

Obesity and Cancer• Overweight and obesity is
responsible for around 22,800cancers in the UK every year
• A If current trends continue, it will lead to a further 670,000 cancer cases over the next 20 years.
• Overweight and obesity is linked to some of the most common types of cancer like breast and bowel cancer –and some of the hardest to treat like pancreatic and oesophageal cancer.

Childhood Obesity

What can we do?
1. Raise Awareness
![Page 19: Primary care role in cancer prevention€¦ · Obesity and Cancer • Overweight and obesity is responsible for around 22,800 ... in France, Hungary, Finland, Norway, Mexico, some](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060320/5f0ce8497e708231d437b8f7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Raising awareness
• Cancer Research UK has been working to raise awareness of the links between preventable risk factors & cancer
• Understanding of the links between obesity and cancer, and alcohol and cancer, are low
• Surveys we have funded suggests (as in Australia and Canada) that individuals who know the links between alcohol and cancer and obesity and cancer are…
• More supportive of effective population level policies
![Page 20: Primary care role in cancer prevention€¦ · Obesity and Cancer • Overweight and obesity is responsible for around 22,800 ... in France, Hungary, Finland, Norway, Mexico, some](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060320/5f0ce8497e708231d437b8f7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• AIM: To measure public awareness of the link between obesity and cancer in the UK adult population
• METHODS: Online cross-sectional survey.3293 participants (adult, UK-wide)
• KEY FINDINGS: Low levels of awareness with only 1 in 4 linking obesity and cancer when unprompted

What can we do?
1. Advocate for population level policies
![Page 24: Primary care role in cancer prevention€¦ · Obesity and Cancer • Overweight and obesity is responsible for around 22,800 ... in France, Hungary, Finland, Norway, Mexico, some](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060320/5f0ce8497e708231d437b8f7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Policy Environment: UK

Price• Health-related food taxes now in place
in France, Hungary, Finland, Norway, Mexico, some US states and some South Pacific islands (mostly sugary drinks)
• In Mexico a 10% tax on sugary drinks linked to ~ 10% decline in purchases
• Implementation of UK soft drink industry levy last year has prompted change– (i.e ‘Irn Bru’ reduced sugar content by 50%)

Food marketing to children increases energy intake, particularly amongst the obese
• Exposure to food advertisements increased subsequent energy intake in all children
• The increase was greater in obese children (155%) and the overweight children (101%) than the NW children (89%).

What can we do?
1. Support individuals in primary care

Conclusions of the BWeL trial
• Most patients find very brief interventions related to their excess body weight very acceptable
• 1 in 500 people find it unacceptable and unhelpful
• No one found it very unacceptable and very unhelpful
• A very brief intervention of offering help, immediate booking, and creating accountability can motivate over 40% of unselected patients to attend a weight management programme
• This intervention could reduce the weight of the population of people who are obese by 1.5-2.5kg.

What about safety?

As of Jan 14th, 2020 2,668 cases of EVALI have been reported in the USA. There have been 60 deaths in 27 states, primarily in youngadults.
After several months of little clarity,CDC investigations now clearly showthat the vast majority of cases involve THC vaping, using illicit products contaminated withVitamin E acetate.
There are 10 million vapers in theUSA, e-cigarettes available for 10years with no cases like this previously. Early CDC advice was not to vape. Now it is not to vapeTHC products particularly illictproducts.
No similar proven cases in the UK. Vitamins & THC are illegal in vaping here and the market more tightly regulated.

Key Findings• Current E-cigarettes are good nicotine delivery devices, likely to be effective for
helping people stop smoking
• Long-term use of e-cigarettes only is associated with reduced exposure to known smoking-related toxicants/carcinogens
• Intake similar to NRT, a safe product > likely to result in significantly reduced cancer (health) risks long-term
• Dual use of e-cigarettes or NRT with combustible cigarettes does not appreciably reduce exposure to known smoking-related toxicants/carcinogens
• Long-term health benefits of e-cigarette use only likely following complete cessation of combustible cigarettes

Very New Study – Cardiovascular effectsBHF Funded, led by Professor Jacob George, University of Dundee
Smokers randomised to EC with nicotine or without nicotinefor one month. Parallel non randomised preference group of continuing smokers.
Both the nicotine and non nicotine EC groups showed significant improvement in vascular health

Consensus that vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking
• England, key organisations 2015
• Followed by BMA report (2017) reflecting the consensus
• Scotland 2017

The TEC Trial: Recent large RCT
• Funded by NIHR and CRUK
• 886 adults randomised to either combination NRT or EC, plus stop smoking service support
• Results endorse UK approach to support EC use in general adult population of smokers trying to quit
![Page 57: Primary care role in cancer prevention€¦ · Obesity and Cancer • Overweight and obesity is responsible for around 22,800 ... in France, Hungary, Finland, Norway, Mexico, some](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060320/5f0ce8497e708231d437b8f7/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Procedures, NRT & EC
• Product use started at the TQD session
• Participants committed to using allocated product for at least 4 weeks
• Weekly support sessions as per usual practice
• Followed up at 6 and 12 months
• If abstinence reported at 12M, participants invited for CO reading and paid £20 for travel and time
• 88% used combination therapy (typically patch + faster acting product)
• Free to switch NRT products - 59% switched
• Supplies for three months
• Cost to NHS: £120 for 3M of one product
• EC Starter pack ‘One Kit’ (with adapter, spare battery, 5 atomisers), 30ml bottle of tobacco flavour e-liquid (18mg/ml nicotine)
• Cost: £30.25

High on-going EC use in abstainers
• At one year, 9% in NRT arm still on NRT, 80% in EC arm still on EC (about a third of them using nicotine free EC)
• Bad if it poses health risks later on
• Good if it prevents relapse (as long-term NRT use), reduces discomfort and weight gain, maintains smoking rewards
• Trial team have ethical approval to continue to follow up participants
![Page 60: Primary care role in cancer prevention€¦ · Obesity and Cancer • Overweight and obesity is responsible for around 22,800 ... in France, Hungary, Finland, Norway, Mexico, some](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060320/5f0ce8497e708231d437b8f7/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
The evidence so far….
• Vaping is far less harmful than smoking
• Vaping can help people stop smoking
• No gateway effect in the UK
• Your patients who smoke may not know this, and 35% of smokers in Great Britain have never tried vaping
