Cancer kills 550,000 people a year in the USA, making it still the worst health problem we are facing (worse than smoking which kills 400,000 a year).
According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is only 15 percent genetic and 85 percent lifestyle
or environmentally influenced.
Cancer causes more deaths per year in the USA, than smoking (but smoking is a
factor for several cancers).
