What is the role of lifestyle and environment in cancer demographics?
Lifestyle choices and environmental exposures are critical factors influencing cancer risk. Tobacco use is the leading cause of cancer and cancer-related deaths. Other lifestyle factors, such as diet and physical activity, alcohol consumption, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation, significantly impact cancer risk. Environmental factors, including exposure to carcinogens such as asbestos and air pollution, also play a role in the geographical distribution of cancer cases.
