🌍 Up to 4 in 10 cancer cases worldwide could be prevented. A new global analysis by WHO and IARC shows that in 2022 alone, about 7.1 million cancer cases were linked to preventable causes.
The biggest risks:
🚭 To***co – responsible for 15% of all new cancer cases
🦠 Infections like HPV & hepatitis – 10%
🍸 Alcohol – 3%
Other factors include air pollution, physical inactivity, high body weight and UV exposure.
🧬 Lung, stomach and cervical cancers make up nearly half of preventable cases — but many can be avoided through healthier choices and stronger public health action.

➡️ Avoid to***co and limit alcohol
➡️ Stay active and maintain a healthy weight
➡️ Get vaccinated against HPV & hepatitis B
