April: Cancer Control Month

April is the Cancer Control Month, so let’s raise awareness together. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally with lung cancer being both the most common and deadly type.

Sometimes cancer can be hard to diagnose. However, leading a healthy lifestyle can lower the risk. The major risk factors are poor diet, tobacco and alcohol use and physical inactivity. Keeping a healthy diet and doing exercise regularly is an effective way to keep your immune system strong and lower the chances of getting cancer.
