This interactive tool estimates your risk of cancer and provides personalized
tips for prevention. Anyone can use it, but it's most accurate for people age
40 and over who have never had any type of cancer.
Take a few minutes to answer some questions and find out your risk. It doesn't
tell you if you'll get cancer or not, but it does tell you where to focus your
prevention efforts. Because the best way to fight cancer is to stop it before
it starts!
-
Bladder Cancer
To access your Bladder Cancer Risk completely, at ScienceofLife we
have produced a general questionnaire with a fair knowledge of risk Factors and
related knowlegebase.
-
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a feared disease. Even though lung cancer and heart disease
kill more women each year, surveys show that women view breast cancer as the
biggest threat to their health.
-
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer used to be a leading cause of cancer death in the US.
But today, it's one of the most preventable kinds of cancer. The reason?
Regular screenings with a Pap smear.
-
Colon cancer
Colon cancer is one of the most preventable kinds of cancer. We can prevent
over half of all cases by making lifestyle changes and getting screened
regularly.
-
Kidney cancer
Kidney cancer is fairly rare in the US. It's a "silent" disease because it
doesn't usually have any symptoms in the early stages. But people can take
steps to lower their risk. To estimate your risk of kidney cancer, take about 2
to 3 minutes to answer some questions about your health, lifestyle and personal
background.
-
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer in the US. But the good news is
that it doesn't have to be. 90% of all lung cancers could be prevented if
everyone quit smoking.
-
Melanoma cancer
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer. It's the least common but also the most
dangerous. Like all types of skin cancer, it's easy to prevent. Protect your
skin from the sun.
-
Ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is fairly rare among women in the US. And it's hard to find in
the early stages. But women can lower their risk.
-
Pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is fairly rare in the US. It's a "silent" disease because it
doesn't usually have any symptoms in the early stages.
-
Prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among US men. It's not always life
threatening, but it forces many men to make a decision about treatment and its
side effects.
-
Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer is fairly rare in the US but very common in other parts of the
world like Asia.
-
Uterine Cancer
Uterine cancer and endometrial cancer mean the same thing. This is because most
uterine cancer starts in the endometrium (the inner lining of the womb).
