How Does Tertiary Prophylaxis Differ from Primary and Secondary Prophylaxis?
- Primary Prophylaxis involves measures to prevent the onset of disease (e.g., immunizations, lifestyle modifications). - Secondary Prophylaxis aims to detect and treat diseases at an early stage (e.g., cancer screenings). - Tertiary Prophylaxis, on the other hand, focuses on managing and mitigating the effects of an already established disease.
