Abstract

Today, cancer is the most common disease in many parts of the world. Choosing a healthy lifestyle and environment can help people prevent cancer development and an important aspect is better communication. Peer education models can provide networks within the context of 'social actions' and 'social ease'. Here we focus on a number of practical examples which have been described in the literature.
