The Prevent Cancer Foundation® is the only nonprofit organization in the United States focused exclusively on cancer prevention and early detection. With a vision of creating a world where cancer is preventable, detectable, and beatable for everyone, the foundation is leading the charge in raising awareness and saving lives. This February, Seamless Flooring is proud to join the cause by spreading awareness about cancer prevention during National Cancer Prevention Month.
- Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S., but it is also one of the most preventable. Using sunscreen, seeking shade, and avoiding tanning beds can reduce skin cancer risk by up to 78%.
- Studies suggest that being physically active reduces the risk of breast cancer by 12-21% and colon cancer by 19-27%.
- According to the American Cancer - Society, at least 42% of cancer cases and 45% of cancer deaths in the U.S. are linked to preventable causes like smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition.
