These words are more than a call to action; they’re the keys to leading a long, healthy life. Prevention represents the greatest control we will ever have over this disease. We can all play a part in eradicating it by adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes diet, exercise and screenings. Today, thanks to advances in cancer research, we know more about how the disease develops and what contributes to cancer risk. We now have better weapons for fighting the disease, including more options for diagnosis and treatment, improved therapies and new technologies for early detection.
