"Analyzing 18.7 million new cancer cases in 2022 (the most recent data available to them), researchers found that nearly 4 out of 10 cases were linked to 30 modifiable risk factors, including smoking tobacco, infections like HPV and hepatitis B, and consuming alcohol. Stomach, lung, and cervical cancer accounted for almost half of all preventable cancers in the report.The findings are a comprehensive assessment of cancer cases globally, which vary greatly by region, so while promising, they come with limitations."
"They can increase inflammation and disrupt the gut microbiome, increasing the risk of colon and ovarian cancer. A diet rich in whole foods is the best way to go. Dr. Daniel Landau, an oncologist specializing in genitourinary cancers, previously told Business Insider that he mostly follows the Mediterranean diet, focusing on lean protein, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes while limiting red meat (which might be carcinogenic), dairy, alcohol, sugar, and UPFs."
World Health Organization analysis of 18.7 million new cancer cases in 2022 estimates nearly 7 million preventable cases, about 37% of the total. Nearly four in ten cases were linked to 30 modifiable risk factors, notably tobacco smoking, infections such as HPV and hepatitis B, and alcohol consumption. Stomach, lung, and cervical cancers comprised almost half of preventable cases. Cancer risk also arises from family history, genetic mutations, and environmental pollutants, but some risks can be reduced through lifestyle changes, including reducing ultra-processed foods and following a Mediterranean-style, whole-foods diet that limits red meat, alcohol, and UPFs.
