Every year in Northern Ireland, approximately 13,800 people get the news that they have cancer. Thankfully the majority survive, but we still lose more than 4,500 loved ones each year.
The good news is that up to 50% of cancers can be prevented if you maintain a healthy lifestyle, have regular checks and use screening services.
Cancer Focus NI has a wide range of cancer prevention services to help you, your family, friends and colleagues make better choices for healthy lifestyles.
