when we work to prevent cancer risks1 it

of the leading causes of death around   
the world and has touched the lives of  
nearly everyone1 either directly or     
indirectly2 ,whereas the disease is the 
cause of nearly #a out of every #d      
deaths in the ,united ,states2 ,whereas 
in #bjah1 there will be an estimated    

#a1gce1cej new cancer cases diagnosed   
and #fji1fdj cancer deaths in the       
,united ,states2 ,whereas cancer is the 
second most common cause of death among 
children ages #a to #ad years in the    
,united ,states after accidents1 and in 
#bjah an estimated #aj1eij children in  
this age group will be diagnosed with   
cancer and #a1ahj will die from it2 and 
,whereas ,february #d1 #bjah1 would be
