(MENAFN- ForPressRelease) India, 2nd February 2024: As World Cancer Day is fast
approaching, International SOS, the world\'s leading health and security risk services
company, emphasises the growing importance of early detection and prevention of cancer in

corporate health strategies. While cancer remains a significant global health burden, proactive
measures evidently reduce mortality rates. Recent data suggests that at least 40% of all

cancer cases reported could be prevented through effective primary prevention measures.1

Workplace environment and working hours can have a profound influence on the physical and
mental health and wellbeing of employees.2 Individuals spend a substantial portion of their

lives at work, some potentially exposed to risk factors such as hazardous materials, long
working hours, or cigarette smoke. Workplace habits can also contribute to physical inactivity

and unhealthy eating patterns3, both known risk factors for cancer. Consequently, the
workplace can play a critical role in shaping health habits and mitigating cancer risks.
