TweetChat - What's Your Cancer Risk
According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a risk factor is anything that raises a person's chance for developing a disease. Although science has yet to explicitly define why one person develops cancer and another does not, specific risk factors are known to increase one's chances of developing certain types of cancers.
According to Therese Bevers, M.D., medical director of the Cancer Prevention Center at MD Anderson, knowing your cancer risk is important because that information offers guidance about efforts to prevent and detect cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage.
