Between 65 to 85 percent of cancers can be prevented through diet and lifestyle changes. And more cancers can be successfully treated if they are detected early. Through a wide range of screening and early detection services, the Cancer Prevention Center can help you reduce your chances of getting cancer. This includes determining your cancer risks and helping you make healthy lifestyle changes. Our efforts can help to ensure that existing cancers are identified early, when they are most treatable.
