‘It will also highlight how to spot the symptoms of cancer early, which is important as the earlier cancer is diagnosed, the easier and more effectively it can be treated.’
Four in 10 cancers are preventable through lifestyle change with the main risk factors including smoking, weight and diet, alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity and sun exposure.
