ANYONE, according to the American Cancer Society.
The occurrence of cancer does increase as people grow older. Nearly 80 percent of all cancers are diagnosed at ages 55 and older, according to the ACS.
Your family history impacts your chances of developing cancer. About 5 to 10 percent of cancers are clearly hereditary, says the ACS.
But our lifestyle also impacts our risks. For example, smokers are 10 times more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers. Nutrition, diet and environmental exposures and even sunshine play a part in our cancer risks.
The American Cancer Society reports that men have a 1 in 2 lifetime chance of developing some kind of cancer. For women, the risk is 1 in 3.
That includes all kinds of cancer, including the most common -- skin cancer -- which accounts for 1.3 million new cases a year.
