Every year in Northern Ireland around 12,780 people are diagnosed with cancer (3,700 of these cases are the less serious, non-malignant skin cancer). Cancer is the most common cause of death in Northern Ireland, with nearly 4,000 deaths every year. You can reduce your risk of developing cancer by maintaining a healthy body weight, being physically active and eating a healthy diet.
