Cancer prevention, definitions, and medical advancements

Abundance of information available with a computer mouse
The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) website of www.cancer.ca can be described as one-stop shopping for information about cancer.
There are lots of details posted about national fundraising campaigns, including Relay For Life: www.relayforlife.ca/woodstock
Since one of the main objectives is education -- the site offers a glossary of info about what is cancer and what are some of the new advancements in finding a cure.
Prevention, early detection, and awareness are part of the cure, so you can research on topics such as asbestos, smoking, the immune system, indoor tanning, fitness and even family genetics.
Important background is supplied on more than three dozen forms of cancer, including an abundance of verified statistics.
Keep an eye on this blog: www.woodstockrelayforlife.blogspot.com for may updates as the annual Relay For Life approaches.
