Geneva, Switzerland, February 4 -- Experts suggest that people should ban smoking and overeating, limit consumption of liquor, exercise regularly, and get anti-cancer vaccines to prevent being diagnosed with cancer.
Forty percent of cancers could be prevented with adoption of a healthy lifestyle, says a report initiated by researchers from the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) organization.
David Hill, lead author of the report and president of UICC says, “If there was an announcement that somebody had discovered a cure for 40 percent of the world's cancers, there would quite justifiably be huge jubilation.”
“But the fact is that we have, now, the knowledge to prevent 40 percent of cancers. The tragedy is, we're not using it,” he adds.
