Journalists interested in finding out more about the link between lifestyle and cancer, common modifiable risk factors, and preventive measures will:

• Hear about the types of evidence that show a high proportion of cancer is preventable.

• Learn where to find information about established programs that identify both modifiable and non modifiable factors that cause or prevent cancer.

• Understand the fraction (or proportion) of cancer that can be attributed to common modifiable risk factors.

• Walk away with a deeper understanding of the current evidence on tobacco, alcohol, excess body weight, and other cancer risk factors, how they impact the cancer burden in the US (and worldwide) and potential strategies to reduce their impact.
