First modification:
A new study in the journal ‘The Lancet’ revealed that 44.4% of cancer deaths worldwide are due to preventable risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, having unprotected sex or high body mass index. The study estimates that 4.45 million deaths are related to these preventable risk factors. Although not all types of cancer have clear causes, there are certain conditions that favor the development of this disease. The researchers call not only for prevention, but also to carry out effective diagnostic programs to deal with this problem that increases every year throughout the world.
