40 percent of cancers could be prevented
Avoid disease-causing infections and quit smoking to cut risk, experts say
LONDON – Forty percent of the 12 million people diagnosed with cancer worldwide each year could avert the killer disease by protecting themselves against infections and changing their lifestyles, experts said Tuesday.
A report by the Geneva-based International Union Against Cancer (UICC) highlighted nine infections that can lead to cancer and urged health officials to drive home the importance of vaccines and lifestyle changes in fighting the disease.
“If there was an announcement that somebody had discovered a cure for 40 percent of the world’s cancers, there would quite justifiably be huge jubilation,” UICC president David Hill told Reuters in a telephone interview.
This is very good news and good advice. Taking healthy actions to prevent cancer is very smart indeed.
Stop Smoking – well that is very clear. Get whatever help you can to cut down. Smoke less. Build a new life style so you are not addicted to smoking at all.
Do what you can today to stay healthy and cancer free.
