Wednesday, December 05, 2007

Britain is facing a cancer time bomb, with the number of victims forecast to rise by a third by 2020. A Government report estimates that by then, 299,000 cases of cancer per year will be diagnosed - up from 224,000 in 2001. Half of all these cancers will be caused by entirely preventable causes such as smoking, overeating and too much sunbathing.
