FOREWORD BY THE STAROST OF KOSZALIN The Koszalin Poviat applied for funding for the project, „We are fighting cancer - a cancer prevention program in the Poviat of Ko- szalin” in March 2014. The competition was limited and aimed at selecting 156 poviats. In December, 2015 the final list of the projects recommended for funding was announced. The Committee made a recommendation to fund 24 projects. The Poviat of Koszalin, with the number of total 57 points, took the 10th place! This is a huge success and an enormous challenge. Especially, that the project aims at reducing and preventing malignant lungs and bronchus, colon and rectum, and prostate cancer incidence as well as improving public health and the reduction of social inequalities in health. The received grant of PLN 2 898 337,00 consists of: the amount of PLN 2 463 586,45 from the Norwegian Financial Mechanism, which constitutes 85% of the financing, and PLN 434 750,55 in the form of cooperation, by the Program Operator (Ministry of Health), which represents 15% of the expenditure; it has been al- located mainly to free preventive testing and a wide range of infor- mation-promotional campaigns, so that we could reach out directly to you and invite you to participate in the study. 6 With this epidemiological report, we would like not only to implement the objectives of the project, but above all, promote healthy behavior and a healthy lifestyle on an even larger scale. Preventive health education, leading to generating positive attitudes of the residents of our poviat, determines reduction in the incidence of cancer, and this is the priority of our work! The Epidemiological Report is based on the assessment of 15 000 surveys (among people in the age of 35- 70) regarding three types of cancer: lung and bronchus, colon and rectum and prostate. The report includes in particular: a description of the population and the scope of the research conducted; a description of the health situation of the population in the poviat, resulting from statistical and other existing data, and determines the situation in the poviat against the province and the country. You will also find here the information on the state of health of the inhabitants of the poviat of Koszalin and the causes of the health situation of the population studied. The collected data was used to draw conclusions and give recommendations as well as suggestions of activities for institutions in the field of health protection. Remember about prevention and regular tests among children and adults; this is the only way we are able to early detect any threat in our body, and thus increase the effectiveness of treatment, shorten its time and avoid serious risks. It is extremely important that we all know that health prevention is of paramount significance, not only in terms of reducing the incidence,
