1/3 of all cancers in the US could be prevented
That was one portion of the ground-breaking news reported on Friday, February 26th when AICR/WCRF launched the most comprehensive report on cancer prevention policy ever undertaken.
An e-newsletter from AICR on friday said "We can prevent over 45% of colon cancer cases and 38% of breast cancer cases in the U.S. by making changes in our diet, physical activity and weight control... The new WCRF/AICR Report is called
Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention - Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective. The report tells us what kinds and how many cancer cases can be prevented, and it details 48 specific policy recommendations that would significantly reduce the burden of cancer now affecting more than 1.4 million Americans every year."
The link above will take you to a landing page where you can view further video coverage or download a PDF of the entire report.
Donations can also be made directly to the organization and their cause here.
AICR's strides towards cancer research and prevention is truly remarkable. RMI is so proud to have been a part of their fundraising efforts for over 20 years. We congratulate you all on your hard work and continued dedication.
