http://www.cnbc.com/id/101718721

Half of all men and a third of all women in the U.S. will develop cancer in their lifetimes. The median age of diagnosis is 66 years old.

This year, an estimated 1.67 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S., with prostate, breast and lung cancers being the most common types.

The World Health Organization says more than 30 percent of cancer deaths could be prevented by modifying behaviors. Tobacco use is the single most important risk factor for cancer, accounting for about 22 percent of cancer deaths globally
