What are some things that increase the risk of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of things: Smoking, obestiy, too much sun exposure, many chemicals, bad genetics, radiation, tobacco in any form, and many other things. To reduce your chances of getting cancer, try to "live clean" (avoid the above issues) and choose your parents carefully!
