February is National Cancer Prevention Month which serves as a vital reminder that nearly 40% to 50% of cancer cases in the U.S. are linked to preventable lifestyle factors. The month is dedicated to empowering individuals with the knowledge that everyday choices—such as quitting tobacco, maintaining a healthy weight, and staying physically active—can significantly lower their risk. Beyond lifestyle changes, it emphasizes the life-saving power of early detection through regular screenings. Learn more about National Cancer Prevention Month.
