Alcoholic beverages have been linked with several cancers, including cancer of the liver, mouth and throat, and breast. Overexposure to sun, especially when you get a sunburn, can cause skin cancer. Avoid the sun altogether from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Use a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor of 15 to 30 when you are outdoors.

Cure rates are much higher if cancer is caught early.
