Surgical amputation of an extremity with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) is an example in which
when a disease is present the treatment (amputation) is done to reduce the impact of disease
by preventing the tumor from dissemination. Vaccination for rotavirus for children younger
than the age of 1 year, sexual education program in elementary schools, and increasing taxes
for buying cigarettes represent examples of primary prevention. Screening for gestational
diabetes after 24 weeks of pregnancy is an example of secondary prevention.
