Feedback:
Avoiding the use of and exposure to tobacco products can reduce the risk of lung cancer. Ensuring that there is adequate ventilation in the home can prevent the accumulation of radon gas, which is known to substantially increase the risk of lung cancer. Limiting exposure to the sun reduces the risk of skin cancer. Eating a diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables instead of a diet high in animal fat can reduce the risk of cancer as it is known that a diet high in animal fat can increase the risk of stomach and colorectal cancer. Obesity increases the rates of cancer of the prostate, pancreas, uterus, colon, ovary, and breast.
