Lifestyle Can Offset Some Genetic Risk for Cancer

While having a family history of cancer is associated with having an increased cancer risk, new research suggests that you can reduce your odds for cancer by living a healthy lifestyle. An analysis of data concerning over 40,000 adults found that individuals who maintain a healthy weight, don't smoke, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, exercise, and eat a healthy diet can reduce their risk for cancer by up to 22% and their risk for cancer-related mortality by up to 40%.
