ABSTRACT
In the Caribbean, cancer has been identified as the second leading cause of death and has created an immense challenge for healthcare services and expenses throughout the region. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer incidence will increase by 58%, from 2015 to 2035, and cancer mortality throughout this period will increase by 67%. This research project outlined the socio-demographic risk factors and lifestyle choices known to increase the risk of developing various forms of cancer that are present in the population of Trinidad & Tobago. Knowledge of these risk factors will allow members of the public to evaluate their lifestyles. Subsequently, they can determine if they are putting themselves at risk for certain malignancies, since different types of cancers have specific socio- demographic factors and lifestyle choices associated with them.
