Talking About Cancer Prevention

Evidence-based guidance for everyday life.

This section brings together the Cancer Prevention Recommendations from World Cancer Research Fund and explores them in a clear, practical, and easy to follow way.

The recommendations are about the everyday parts of life: food, movement, body weight, alcohol, breastfeeding, and the choices we make after a cancer diagnosis.
