Can you tell me the chances of me getting cancer?

Let's keep them low: Cancer results from accumulations of genetic mutations and in extreme old age, it is probably inevitable. You can lower your odds by avoiding tobacco, hpv, hiv, asbestos, and heavy sun exposure. Even better, you can keep up good surveillance so you can be one of the 2/3 of people whose cancer is cured.
