According to the researchers, “About 40 percent of all cancer cases and regarding half of all cancer deaths are due to potentially modifiable risk factors. Cancer incidence and premature deaths might be significantly reduced through widespread use of known prevention methods.”
Scientists recommend, first and foremost, quitting smoking, as quitting this habit can greatly reduce the chances of developing lung, larynx, bronchus, and esophagus cancer.
The second habit that must be eliminated is drinking alcohol, because it helps avoid oral cavity and pharynx cancer.
Another bad habit is not maintaining a normal weight, because being overweight and obese may be a cause of stomach, liver, colon and rectal cancer.
According to researchers, sunscreen should be used to reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Finally, oncologists urge people not to follow a sedentary lifestyle, because inactivity increases the risk of stomach, esophageal and colon cancer.
According to scientists, other factors that cause cancer are passive smoking, not having enough vegetables and fruits in the diet, eating raw, unprocessed meat, and not being vaccinated once morest HPV and hepatitis B.
