Cancer Awareness: It is predicted that by 2030, cancer will surpass heart disease as the leading cause of death in America. Although recent studies suggest that many cancers can be attributed to bad luck, there is no doubt that poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking and obesity, contribute directly to rising cancer rates. Although messaging can be notoriously difficult, continued efforts to educate the public about how they can curb preventable cancers is critical in the fight against this devastating disease.
