  > The difference between less harmful and more harmful cancer could be the difference between life and death. This is a strange analogy. Of course some forms of cancer are more treatable than others, especially when detected early, but the best "treatment" for cancer is to avoid it in the first place. There's no realistic, sensical way to move people from getting getting more harmful forms of cancer to to less harmful forms of cancer. In fact, it would be absolutely absurd to try somehow to encourage people to get less harmful forms of cancer. All of the encouragement should be directed at avoiding behaviors that lead to cancer.
