Cancer Risk &Prevention
Primary prevention helps people choose healthy
behaviors to lower their risk of getting cancer. Promoting
and providing vaccines that prevent cancer. Supporting
environmental approaches that make healthy choices
easier where we live, play, and work. (1)
Risk
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S.
Many cancers can be prevented or caught early enough.
The leading risk factors for cancers that can be prevented
are smoking, getting too much ultraviolet radiation from
the sun or tanning beds, being overweight or obese, and
drinking too much alcohol. (2)
Preventing Cancer
Cancer can be prevented in many instances. Not using
Tobacco can prevent many types of cancer including cancer
of the lungs, mouth, throat, voice box, pancreas, bladder, and
kidneys. Eating a healthy diet can reduce the risk of cancer.
Also, maintaining a healthy weight and being physically active
can lower the risk of some types of cancer. Protecting
yourself from the sun is one of the best things you can do for
your body since skin cancer is one of the most common types
of cancer. (3)
