If you consider that one-in-four individuals may be affected by the disease during their lifetime, you will realise how powerful knowledge is in terms of risk reduction, prevention and early detection.<\/p>\n
The Cancer Association of South Africa prevention and early detection campaigns promote a balanced diet and balanced lifestyle, which includes regular exercise, not smoking, staying safe in the sun, doing regular self-examinations and undergoing regular medical checkups.
