How to Prevent Cancer

Cancer is a large group of diseases that have one thing in common: They all occur when normal cells become cancer cells, which multiply and spread. Early detection and innovative treatments cure cancer and help cancer patients live longer. At the same time, medical researchers identify independent risk factors associated with cancer development to protect people from developing cancer. You can reduce your risk of developing many common cancers by making healthy choices. Screening tests can detect some cancers early when treatment works best. Vaccines (immunizations) can help prevent several types of cancer.
