What is ~90% of cancer caused by?

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of cancers are not primarily driven by inherited genes.

Decades of epidemiologic research show that around 90% of cancers are attributable to modifiable, environmental and lifestyle-related factors, while only about 5–10% arise from inherited genetic mutations.

According to global cancer data from the World Health Organization and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the dominant contributors include:

• To***co use (the single largest cause of preventable cancer)
• Unhealthy diet, obesity, and physical inactivity
• Alcohol consumption
• Chronic infections (HPV, hepatitis B & C, H. pylori)
• Environmental and occupational exposures (air pollution, asbestos, radiation)
• Ultraviolet radiation from the sun

These factors act slowly, silently, and cumulatively—often over decades—altering cellular biology until normal regulation fails.

This reality carries an empowering message:
Most cancers are, in principle, preventable.

Prevention is not abstract. It means to***co control, vaccination, clean air, healthy food systems, physical activity, early detection, and policies that make healthy choices easier than unhealthy ones.

Cancer is not merely a matter of fate or faulty genes.
It is, to a large extent, a reflection of how we live, work, eat, breathe, and protect our populations.

As oncologists, clinicians, and public health advocates, prevention is not optional—it is our most powerful treatment.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable—and most treatable—cancers when detected early.

Yet too often, prevention is overshadowed by treatment.

What we know today is clear and evidence-driven:
Most colorectal cancers develop slowly from precancerous polyps over years. This long window creates a powerful opportunity for prevention.

Key pillars of prevention include:
----------------------------------
👉 Timely screening – Colonoscopy and other approved screening tests can detect and remove polyps before cancer develops. For average-risk adults, screening should begin by age 45, and earlier for those with family history or risk factors.

👉 Lifestyle choices – A diet rich in fiber, regular physical activity, maintaining healthy weight, limiting red and processed meats, avoiding to***co, and moderating alcohol intake all reduce risk.

👉 Risk awareness – Family history, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, and metabolic health matter. Personalized risk assessment enables personalized prevention.

Prevention is not passive.
It is proactive medicine—rooted in data, discipline, and long-term thinking.

As clinicians, researchers, and health advocates, our responsibility is not only to treat colorectal cancer well—but to prevent it whenever possible through education, access to screening, and early action.

Early detection saves lives.
Prevention changes trajectories.

Cancer care is no longer just about treating disease—it’s about understanding biology, precision, and the human behind the diagnosis.

From immunotherapy and targeted treatments to non-invasive delivery approaches, oncology is entering an era where science is finally learning to outsmart complexity.

Progress doesn’t arrive as miracles.
It arrives as data, discipline, collaboration, and patience.

And step by step, outcomes improve.

Nasal Drops May Offer a Non-Invasive Strategy to Fight Brain Tumors

Treating brain tumors has always been constrained by one major challenge: how to reach the tumor effectively without causing additional harm. The blood–brain barrier, while essential for protecting the brain, also limits the impact of many promising therapies.

Recent preclinical research suggests an intriguing possibility—intranasal delivery of immunotherapy.

The Role of Immunotherapy in Cancer Treatment!

Immunotherapy has changed the way we treat cancer. Instead of attacking cancer cells directly, these treatments help your own immune system recognize and destroy them more effectively. This approach has offered new hope to many patients, especially in cancers like melanoma, lung cancer, and certain blood cancers.

Immunotherapy can lead to long-lasting responses, improved survival, and better quality of life for many individuals. As research grows, we now combine immunotherapy with targeted therapies, chemotherapy, and precision medicine tools to further improve outcomes.

Every patient’s journey is unique. Discussing treatment options with your oncology team can help determine whether immunotherapy is right for you.

Your health. Your hope. Your future.

AI for Cancer Risk Prediction: A New Era of Prevention

Artificial Intelligence is changing how we understand cancer long before symptoms appear. By analysing genetics, lifestyle factors, imaging patterns and clinical data, AI can help identify who may be at higher risk — enabling earlier screening, personalised follow-ups and smarter preventive strategies.

This isn’t about replacing doctors; it’s about enhancing clinical judgement and catching risks earlier than ever before.

A future where cancer can be predicted — and potentially prevented — is becoming a reality.

Cancer & Fertility: Awareness Matters

Cancer and its treatments can affect a person’s ability to have children in the future. Chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapies, and some surgeries may reduce fertility—sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently.
These impacts are often time-sensitive, which makes early awareness essential.

Before treatment begins, patients should be informed about:
• S***m banking
• Egg or embryo freezing
• Ovarian or testicular tissue preservation
• Medical options that may protect fertility during treatment

Timely counselling helps individuals make informed choices and ensures that fertility considerations become a standard part of comprehensive cancer care.

Increasing awareness today safeguards future possibilities for those facing cancer.

Anti-Obesity Day | 26th November 2025

Obesity isn’t just a number on the scale — it’s a significant health challenge that increases the risk of several cancers, including breast, colorectal, endometrial, pancreatic, and liver cancers. Addressing obesity is one of the most effective steps we can take to reduce the global cancer burden.

Sustainable change doesn’t come from drastic measures; it comes from consistent, meaningful choices. Daily habits such as balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management play a central role in protecting long-term health.

On Anti-Obesity Day, let’s take a moment to reflect, reset, and recommit.

Small steps build powerful momentum.
Healthy habits strengthen resilience.
Awareness leads to prevention.

Together, we can promote healthier lifestyles, reduce cancer risk, and encourage a future where well-being becomes a shared priority.

New Insight into Prostate Cancer Treatment

A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has identified two enzymes — PDIA1 and PDIA5 — that help prostate cancer cells survive and resist treatment. By supporting the androgen receptor, these enzymes allow tumours to grow and withstand standard therapies.

Learn more : https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dramitkumarjain_prostatecancer-oncology-medicalresearch-activity-7396228000142258176-B78p/

Why this matters:
Early findings show that blocking PDIA1/PDIA5 can weaken cancer cells and enhance the effectiveness of existing treatments. This approach may play a future role in overcoming therapy resistance, one of the biggest challenges in prostate cancer care.
