Regular physical exercise can prevent 15 percent of breast cancer cases, while 18% more can be forestalled by maintaining proper weight, according to the Israel Cancer Association.

A special event open to the public will be held at the Hangar at Tel Aviv Port on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. to promote exercise to reduce risk of cancer. A booklet on exercise for cancer prevention can be obtained from the ICA's Telemeida number, 1-800-599995.
