It’s all about prevention!Prevention is more important now than ever.
In the U.S.: 1 in 4 people will develop cancer at some point in their lives.
Around 40% of cancer cases are preventable which means nearly 694,000 cases of cancer could be prevented every year in the US by factors such as lifestyle.
Nearly 1.7 million new cases of cancer to be diagnosed in 2019
606,880 Americans expected to die from cancer in 2019 which translates to 1660 deaths per day.
