Prevent what we can, notice and act earlier, and make cancer care kinder. See what KCK does.

“Our aim is to reduce the cancer risk from 50% down to 5% by 2050.” This is an ambitious organisational aim, not a personal risk calculation, guarantee or achieved result. KCK needs an approved measurement method before reporting progress against the figures.

The trustees are Dr Mohammad Muneeb Khan, Amina Gagieva and Fatima Gagieva.

No. The World Health Organization reported in 2026 that approximately 38 per cent of cancers can currently be prevented through existing evidence-based strategies. That is a population estimate, not a promise about an individual. Age, genes, environment, access and chance also matter, and nobody is to blame for developing cancer.

Important actions include avoiding tobacco and second-hand smoke, moving regularly, eating a varied pattern with wholegrains, vegetables, fruit and beans, supporting a healthy weight, drinking less alcohol or none, protecting yourself from ultraviolet radiation, and using HPV or hepatitis B vaccination when official guidance recommends it. See KCK’s cancer prevention page or read the guide to reducing cancer risk.

No. KCK does not diagnose illness, assess symptoms, provide treatment or medicine advice, arrange screening, give results, make referrals or provide personal medical or emotional support.

Contact an appropriate healthcare professional or official health service. Do not wait for screening or use BMI, a video or an email response to decide that a symptom is safe. If someone may be in immediate danger, use the local emergency service.

No. Prevention aims to lower the chance of cancer developing. Screening looks for signs of a particular cancer or precancerous change in people without symptoms. Screening is not diagnosis, has benefits and harms, and follows country and programme rules.

KCK uses current authoritative sources, writes for the intended audience and records a clinical review before publication. A medical page should show the writer, reviewer, review date, next review date, country scope and direct sources. It is reviewed sooner if guidance changes or a credible correction is received.

No. BMI is a rough adult measure based on height and weight. It cannot diagnose health, directly measure body fat or tell you whether you will develop cancer. Open the KCK BMI calculator.

Do not use it for a child, during pregnancy, or to assess a symptom. It may also be unsuitable or less informative for people with an eating disorder, high muscle mass, a condition that affects height, a disability or amputation, fluid changes, frailty or treatment that affects weight. Ask a professional for an appropriate assessment.
