What Have We Learned from the Cancer Prevention Study?
The CPS has contributed significantly to our understanding of cancer. Some key findings include:
The strong link between smoking and lung cancer, which has led to widespread public health campaigns and policy changes. The association between obesity and increased risk of various cancers, including breast and colon cancer. The protective effects of physical activity against several types of cancer. The impact of dietary factors, such as high consumption of red and processed meats, on cancer risk. The role of environmental pollutants and occupational exposures in cancer development.
