Cancer: 'just bad luck'

According to a new study up to 2/3 types of the cancer are independent of your life-style and simply down to your luck.

The research published in Journal Science says that most of the types analysed were caused by chance mutations.

However some cancers still depend a lot on your lifestyle and taking care of that can turn the odds in your favour.

Lung cancer has been found strongly linked to smoking and Colon cancer is increased by poor diet.
