Between 30% and 50% of cancer deaths could be prevented by modifying or avoiding key risk factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and diet and by implementing evidence-based prevention strategies. The cancer burden can also be reduced through early detection of cancer and management of patients who develop cancer.
