Ways to Reduce your Cancer Risk


Excellent chart from the #WHO on ways to reduce cancer risk. Couple points: ▪Did you know that we have anti-cancer vaccines? Well, we know both hepatitis B and HPV to be carcinogenic viruses; thus, preventing infection is an effective means of preventing cancers of the liver and cervix. The HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines are the only anti-cancer vaccines we have! Active research is being done on a Hepatitis C vaccine, which is another cancer causing virus like HPV and Hep B. ▪️If you smoke, likely the number 1 thing you can do for your health is to stop - not just for cancer (especially devastating cancers like cancer of the lung, pancreas, or bladder), but also to dramatically lessen your risk of heart attack, stroke, and lung disease. When it comes to your health, knowledge is power 💪 and prevention is key🔑
