Smoking cessation has the greatest potential for reducing cancer mortality. Moderate physical activity may prevent colon cancer by modifying bowel peristalsis patterns and may prevent breast cancer by modifying ovulatory frequency. Radiation therapy and the use of certain drugs may increase the risk of some cancers. Liver cancer may be the most preventable major cancer.
戒烟在降低癌症死亡率方面具有最大潜力。适度的体育活动可能通过改变肠道蠕动模式预防结肠癌,并可能通过改变排卵频率预防乳腺癌。放射治疗和某些药物的使用可能会增加某些癌症的风险。肝癌可能是最可预防的主要癌症。
