Approach to cancer prevention

The approach to cancer prevention protocols is very individual and depends on various factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, heredity, comorbidities and individual genetic predispositions or defence capabilities.

It is desirable to engage in cancer prevention not only for people with a family history of cancer, but also for everyone who is interested in maintaining their health. It is advisable to consider consulting a specialist at any age. Unfortunately, approximately 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year.

Background information

The two most discussed diseases of the last two years are the coronavirus and cancer. However, if we compare the data, we see that in the year 2021 219 million coronavirus cases were detected that caused 4.55 million deaths. Cancer caused 10 million deaths worldwide in 2020. Considering all the statistics, in 85% of cases, cancer occurs sporadically. Cancer does not have one cause. Cancer does not appear overnight.

Thus, it is necessary to consider a variety of trigger points:

“Even though in many cases it takes years or even decades for cancer to develop, most patients are diagnosed with cancer at a very late stage or when it is incurable. On the other hand, modern medicine provides various non-invasive diagnostic methods that allow doctors to identify some possible triggers before the cancer has developed.”
