Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world as of 2018, with breast and lung cancer at the top for most common cancers. One-third of those deaths attributed to diet, environment and lifestyle factors, and it is estimated that up to 50% of cancers could be prevented by avoiding risk factors and implementing proven strategies. While we race for the cure, genetic testing for breast cancer genes and genes connected to breast health are helping us race for breast cancer prevention.
