How Does Geography Influence Cancer Risk?

Geography plays a significant role in cancer risk due to differences in environmental exposures, such as pollution, sunlight, and availability of healthy foods. For example, populations living in areas with high levels of industrial pollution may experience higher rates of lung cancer. Similarly, regions with limited sunlight exposure might have higher incidences of vitamin D deficiency, potentially affecting cancer risk.
