How can cancer be prevented?
A: Two things are happening. One is that we're understanding the biology a lot better--though sometimes that means people become more fatalistic because they think, "I've got the genes, I'll get the disease."
The second thing is that people are beginning to understand that cancer is preventable despite family histories, just as heart disease is.
