Khaberni - Dr. Mark Ghadzian, a specialist in male and tumor diseases, has identified the most important risk factors for cancer that can be controlled.
According to him, about one-third of cancer deaths are linked to smoking, alcohol addiction, obesity, and lack of physical activity.
In addition, poor nutrition, air pollution, some types of infection, exposure to ultraviolet and ionizing radiation (including radiation), genetics, aging, chronic inflammation, and chronic stress contribute to cancer.
Dr. Ghadzian emphasizes that the more risk factors a person has, the higher their likelihood of developing cancer. Therefore, he advises, as basic preventive measures, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight, increasing physical activity, protecting the skin from sunlight, and vaccinating against human papillomavirus and hepatitis B, when necessary.
