To all,

Wil Hawk, of NIFL, just brought this web site to my attention. Thought it
might be of interest to many of you.

Your Cancer Risk
http://www.yourcancerrisk.harvard.edu
The Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention designed this tool for adults
over the age of forty to assesses their risk of cancer. Individuals are
asked questions about diet, personal history, environment, and family
history. The results can be a little shocking, but clarify the factors
(those supported by current medical research) that contribute to cancer.
Classroom teachers can use this tool to demonstrate to students the
lifestyle decisions that impact the future. Adults can assess their risk
of breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer and find
out ways to reduce these risks.
