#AllAboutCancer Myth: There is nothing I can do to prevent cancer Fact: Wrong! At least 30-40% of cancers are preventable. Potential cancer risks can be significantly reduced by avoiding cancer causing agents and by adopting a healthy balanced lifestyle. Many cancers can be prevented if one avoids tobacco, eats a healthy diet, exercises regularly, protects oneself from excessive sun exposure, limits or avoids drinking alcohol, as well as goes for recommended screenings regularly. At least twenty per cent (20%) of cancers are caused by infections (mostly viral) in third world countries like South Africa. Effective vaccinations are available to protect against the human papilloma virus (HPV) which is the major cause of cervical cancer as well as the Hepatitis B vaccine which protects against primary liver cancer.
