Sụrgical ampụtation of an extremity with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) is an example in which
when a disease is present the treatment (ampụtation) is done to redụce the impact of disease by
preventing the tụmor from dissemination. Vaccinationa fboi rrb.rcootm av/ tier sụts for children yoụnger
than the age of 1 year, sexụal edụcation program in elementary schools, and increasing taxes
for bụying cigarettes represent examples of primary p r eavbei nr bt .i coonm. /Stecsrteening for gestational
diabetes after 24 weeks of pregnancy is an example of secondary prevention.
