“Even individuals who smoke fewer than one cigarette per day over their lifetime have higher risk of death than non smokers and cessation at any age can reduce the risk of cancer occurrence and cancer related death,” the report endorsed by Michael A. Caligiuri and Margaret Foti, AACR President and AACR Chief Executive Officer respectively said.
The report maintained that a healthy weight, being physically active, and consuming a balanced diet are effective ways a person can lower his or her risk of developing or dying from cancer.”
The report, which was compiled by a team of experts on cancer research, also indicated that obesity has continued to be another major source of the disease. “Exactly how obesity increases a person’s risk for cancer is not well understood, but accumulating evidence indicates a critical role for inflammatory immune cells within the fat tissue”, the report said.
One of the most effective ways a person can lower his or her risk of developing cancer, as well as other smoking related conditions such as cardiovascular, metabolic, and lung diseases, is to avoid or eliminate tobacco use, according to the report.
The report reads in part: “Since the relationship between tobacco use and cancer was first brought to the public’s attention in 1964, development and implementation of major public education and policy initiatives have significantly lowered cigarette smoking rates among U.S. adults.
In fact, it is estimated that from 2000 to 2015, total cigarette consumption decreased by over 38 per cent. “During the same period, use of several tobacco products among high school students also declined sharply: In 1999, more than 40 per cent of high school students reported being current users of cigarettes, cigars, or smokeless tobacco compared with just 18 per cent in 2015 “Smoking tobacco increases an individual’s risk of developing not only lung cancer, but also 17 other types of cancer.
"No level of exposure to tobacco smoke is safe, including exposure to second hand smoke, which is estimated to have resulted in more than 260,000 of the five million lung cancer deaths in the United States (U.S) attributable to smoking from 1965 to 2014."
“Researchers estimate that 20 per cent of all cancers diagnosed in the United States (U.S), including some of the most deadly types of cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, are related to people being overweight or obese, being inactive, and/or eating a poor diet."
