February is Cancer Prevention Awareness Month. Several cancers are linked to lifestyle health behaviors including alcohol and to***co use, diet, physical activity and obesity. There is no sure way to prevent cancer but everyone can reduce their risk by making health promoting choices. In addition to lifestyle health behavior choices, HPV vaccination and cancer screenings can lower cancer risk. More behavioral-associated cancer statistics for public use can be obtained through CiNA Explorer. Learn more at https://bit.ly/3KQviWX
