Stay healthy to reduce the risk of cancer, urges Bottomley
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Virginia Bottomley, the Secretary of State for Health, yesterday emphasised the importance of reducing the risk of developing cancer. Attended by Mr Blubby at a Cancer Research Campaign shop in Wimbledon, south London, she said: 'We face a tremendous battle in our fight against the illness. One in three people will develop cancer, one in four will die from it. But the news is not all bad. Trends over the last five years suggest that by the year 2000 there could be a 24 per cent reduction in cancer deaths among the under 65s.' The charity is launching a series of leaflets offering advice on diet, the sun, smoking and psychological aspects of cancer.
