Around 30-50% of cancer could be prevented through recommended cancer screening programs.
“As a doctor, I commend you for taking a proactive approach to your health. So many cancers could be prevented through a combination of healthy lifestyle choices – such as not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight and keeping vaccinations up to date – and by participating in recommended cancer screening programs.”
