癌症能预防吗？
Can cancer be prevented?

Many people believe that getting cancer is purely down to genes, fate or bad luck. But through scientific research, we know that our risk actually depends on a combination of our genes, our environment and aspects of our lives, many of which we can control.

In the UK, more than one in three people will develop cancer at some point in their lives. Every year, around 309,500 people are diagnosed with the disease.

But experts estimate that more than four in 10 cancer cases could be prevented by lifestyle changes, such as:

• not smoking
• keeping a healthy body weight
• cutting back on alcohol
• eating a healthy, balanced diet
• keeping active
• avoiding certain infections (like HPV)
• staying safe in the sun
• occupation (see chemicals in the workplace)

Some people are more at risk of cancer as a result of chemicals or practices used in their occupation. Improved safety in the workplace means fewer people will be at risk now than in the past.

已知的一些生活方式和环境因素，如不吸烟、保持健康体重、少喝酒、平衡的健康饮食以及避免某些感染与辐射/职业危害等等是有助于预防癌症的.可以分别点击这些链接：not smoking，body weight，alcohol，diet，active，HPV，sun，chemicals in the workplace．

有多少癌症可以预防?

How many cancers?

This diagram shows the results of new research funded by Cancer Research UK, which aims to show the number of cancer cases in the UK that could be prevented by known lifestyle and environmental factors．

最中间的【Key】下的Risk factor里：一小方块等于200例癌症病例规模（Scale）.癌症风险的圆圈越大、发病越多；中间圆圈上的细窄圈线表示最新的英国各癌症的数据.而窄圈上的长条柱形则分别代表男女可预防的癌症发病比例：蓝色的是男性数据；紫色的是女性数据.这张图既定性又定量,值得仔细研究.

The thin lines show the total number of cancers of each type from the latest UK incidence figures, and the large bars in the centre of each line show the proportion of these cases that could be prevented in men and women. Around the outside, you’ll see the lifestyle and environmental factors that are linked to each cancer type. On the left is the contribution of each lifestyle factor to cancer overall.

You can read more about the results, or examine the chart in more detail on our CancerStats site.
