You can reduce the odds of developing cancer by changing one or more controllable risk factors. A risk factor is anything associated with a higher propensity to develop the disease. It is important to realize, however, that even people with no risk factors can develop a particular cancer.
F irstly, thank you for your interest and I hope readers will contribute their own considered analysis and gut intuitions here intelligently, regardless of whether or not they agree with these postulations and the presentation of them.

Brain Power: Easy Ways to Feed Your Intellectual Hunger | LifeSn
Education is the driving force of modern society and the path of knowledge, that thrill of learning something new, can in and of itself be an exhilarating part of our lives. The benefits of continuing education are wide ranging for the individual and their community by equipping them with better skills, a deeper understanding of themselves, others, and the world around them, and strengthening their own natural talents. Education on a personal level can increase a person’s ability to manage stress, live a healthier life, find creative outlets in new passions and existing talents, and broaden their intellectual horizons. On a professional level, learning new skills can help advance your career, move you to a higher pay grade, help you promote your skills in a new area, or join a new career. Some studies have shown that over 75% of adults who have engaged in continuing educational activities of some sort felt that it had made a very positive impact on their lives.
