MEETING CANCER HEAD ON...
The numbers are alarming. Each year, nearly 400,000 Americans
die as a result of some form of cancer. Whether influenced by
poor lifestyle choices – such as smoking, excessive drinking or
unhealthy eating habits – or because of uncontrollable factors
such as heredity or genetics, cancer affects the lives of one
in four Americans.
