 SUMMARY OF

Cancer prevention is a critical technique for tackling the
disease. Every year, almost 200,000 Canadians will listen

prevent cancer from starting in the first place – and
minimise the number of cancer cases in the future.
The main motive of Cancer care Ontario is to bring all
Canadians together and motivate them to fight cancer.
