A considerable body of knowledge has accumulated in the last few decades about the causes of cancer. Many risk factors for cancer are both common and preventable: tobacco use, unhealthy eating, excess body weight, physical inactivity and over exposure to UV rays from the sun and from indoor tanning beds. We have seen progress in cancer prevention through tobacco control - can we apply it to other areas?
