…so says the latest study by the World Cancer Relief Fund (WCRF) in an update of their cancer prevention report in 2007, which looked at many different types of the disease.
The study says that up to 4 in 10 cases could be avoided (up to 18,000 per annum) if women in this country were more active, drank less and kept a healthy weight.
This report was picked up by a number of newspapers including the Daily Mail[1] and the Guardian[2].
Professor Martin Wiseman, medical and scientific adviser for the WCRF said the report:
“represents the clearest picture we have ever had” on how lifestyle affects the risk of breast cancer.
