Report: 40% of cancers are preventable
According to experts about 40% of cancers could be prevented if people stopped smoking and overeating, limited their alcohol, exercised regularly and got vaccines targeting cancer-causing infections. That sounds like common sense, except for the vaccines which I disagree about.
At any rate, to mark World Cancer day on Thursday, officials at the International Union Against Cancer released a report focused on steps that governments and the public can take to avoid the disease. It’s common sense stuff like I said, but worth the read.
The bottom line is that its in our own hands.
