In a report published in the UK medical journal The Lancet, the scientists attributed 2.43 million cancer deaths in 2001 to modifiable factors, such as obesity, low fruit and vegetable intake, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol, unsafe sex, and urban air pollution. HSPH Assistant Professor of International Health Majid Ezzati, the lead researcher of the study, said that smoking is the leading cause of death from cancer by some measures, making up 21 percent of all cancer-related deaths worldwide. He stressed...
