Abstract Introduction Occupational cancer prevention has been recognized under the specific registry or action plan. There are some actions established in general related with cancer prevention and occupational health prevention. This review is intended to reveal the country data for both and suggests future prevention strategies for occupational cancer in Indonesia. Materials and Methods A review in Indonesia’s statute and statistical data was done in period of years 2021 – 2022. The review for cancer data was intended for cancer statistics, the cancer prevention program, risk factors related to cancer, and cancer treatment. The review for occupational health was intended for basic information of occupational health and regulation of radiation and chemical exposure among workers. Results In 2020, the top five cancer prevalence among males in Indonesia were lung (cases = 25,943), colorectum (cases = 21,764), liver (cases = 16,412), nasopharynx (cases = 15,427), and prostate (cases – 13,563). Among females these were breast (cases = 65,858), cervix uteri (cases = 36,633), ovary (14,896), colorectum (12,425), and thyroid (9,053). The cancer prevention program included vaccinations for HPV and HBV and screening for breast and cervix uteri. The prevalence of smokers among men was between 47 and 76%. For occupational health, the major industry was manufacturing (20%) and regulations for radiation and chemical exposures were mandated by the Ministry of Manpower decree related to threshold. There is no specific regulation for cancer prevention among workers. Conclusions Cancer prevention needs to be mandated by regulation, including for occupational cancer.
