The American Cancer Society reports that Americans could prevent half of all cancer deaths in the U.S. by taking relatively straightforward steps. The study focuses on four key aspects of cancer prevention: snuffing out tobacco use, exercising more, improving eating habits and seeking better screening.
Dr. Carolyn Runowicz, national volunteer president of the American Cancer Society said, "This year, for the first time, there was a drop in the reported number of actual cancer deaths in the US. Although we are winning the 'war on cancer,' there is a remarkable opportunity to save hundreds of thousands of lives and to reduce suffering from this disease with lifestyle changes and an increased use of proven screening strategies."
