Each year 127 lakh people discover that they have cancer and of them 76 lakh die.
The WHO projects that unless immediate action taken, deaths from cancer will increase by nearly 80 percent by 2030; most of them occuring in low and middle income countries.
Research suggests that "one-third of cancer deaths can be avoided through prevention" and "one-third through early detection and treatment."
There are so many known causes acting directly or indirectly on the systems to produce cancer. Many of them are related to "lifestyle" and avoiding these can prevent or protect against cancer.
Measures to prevent cancer include eschewing tobacco, having good dietary habits, physical activity, maintaining a healthy diet, environmental health, prevention of cancer causing infections and limited alcohol intake.
