Half of the men and one third of women in Australia will be diagnosed with
cancer by the age of 85.
.
If this statistic wasn't sobering enough, much of it is preventable.
.
A new report by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) has
found that more than 50 per cent of all cancer diagnoses are down to
lifestyle.
.
"Most notable among these causes are tobacco use, obesity, poor diet, lack
of physical exercise, exposure to ultraviolet radiation either through the
use of tanning devices or direct sun exposure, and failure to use or
comply with interventions that treat or prevent infectious causes of
cancer," the report says.
.
By simply "modifying personal behaviours" and making healthier choices, we
can reduce and even eliminate many of the risks.
.
Kathy Chapman, director of the preventions program at the Cancer Council,
believes such knowledge is empowering.
.
"People think of cancer as a death sentence and something we don't have
control over," she says. "But there's good evidence to show there are a
lot of things people can do."
.
In the AACR report, tobacco was the top preventable cause of cancer,
responsible for 33 per cent of diagnoses.
.
In Australia, despite steadily dropping smoking rates, it is also the
number one cause.
.
"There's lag factor," Ms Chapman says, explaining that we are seeing
cancer cases now from people who started smoking 20 years ago.
