Introduction: Nearly 50% of cancers worldwide are caused by preventable risks, such as smoking and drinking, according to one of the largest studies on the link between cancer burden and risk factors
Cancer deaths worldwide
Rudolf Kaaks, a cancer epidemiologist at the Heidelberg Cancer Research Center in Germany, said the findings, published in the journal The Lancet, largely confirm the findings of the small study and highlight how reducing exposure to risk factors can help to prevent a substantial proportion of cancers

The true number of cancer cases and deaths worldwide is difficult to determine because some countries do not record the data, said study co-lead author Justin Lang, an epidemiologist at the Public Health Agency of Canada in Ottawa
In 2019, half of all cancer deaths in men and more than one-third of all cancer deaths in women were due to preventable risk factors, including tobacco and alcohol use, unhealthy diet, unsafe sex, and workplace exposure to asbestos, among others Hazardous products
"These results, combined with local knowledge, may help policymakers identify which modifiable risk factors to target in cancer control planning efforts," said study co-author, Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington in Seattle.

The study did not include some other known risk factors for cancer, including exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and certain infections
The team may continue to analyze risk factors including infection and exposure to UV radiation in future studies, and once more data, such as exposure levels to these factors, can be used, said Jonathan Kocarnik, who is building at IHME Global Cancer Burden Model
Future work could help assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer cases and deaths
