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.
