think of genetic risk factors. for this study researchers liked at behavior, metabolic risk fak torts and examined global deaths for the 2019. researchers found 44.4% of cancer deaths globally were attributable to those preventable risk factors. that s more than 4 million deaths worldwide. the leading risk factors associated with these cancer deaths were smoking, excessive alcohol use and having a high bmi or body mass index. that s one measure of obesity. and the leading cancer types in terms of these deaths varied among men and women. for men the leading cancer types were lung, tracheal and bronchial. for women, lung, tracheal and bronchial, cervical, colorectal and breast. and these risk-attributable
certainly have some mechanisms that would suggest they may be contributing to the changes in the prostate cells. t contributing to the changes in the prostate cells. contributing to the changes in the prostate cells. i guess it obviously holds out the prostate cells. i guess it obviously holds out the possibility prostate cells. i guess it obviously holds out the possibility and i holds out the possibility and prospect that treating that bacteria could be a preventative measure for this type of cancer, is that what you re looking at? this type of cancer, is that what you re looking at? ideally yes. we will look at you re looking at? ideally yes. we will look at a you re looking at? ideally yes. we will look at a range you re looking at? ideally yes. we will look at a range of you re looking at? ideally yes. we will look at a range of treatment | will look at a range of treatment options for the future and other people around the world so they can get this because some of t
much talked about previously? there are some links much talked about previously? there are some links in much talked about previously? there are some links in literature, - are some links in literature, although it does not bacteria it is still a pathogen so. cancers are caused by infectious agents. the links with other cancer types have been shown and others are growing body of evidence to suggest bacteria associated with other cancer types. it seems to be incredibly common, prostate cancer, and a lot of men seem to live with it and not require active treatment. can you give us a snapshot of what the figures are and what the prognosis is and what the impact tends to be. what the prognosis is and what the impact tends to be. worldwide there are 1.4 million impact tends to be. worldwide there are 1.4 million cases impact tends to be. worldwide there are 1.4 million cases of impact tends to be. worldwide there are 1.4 million cases of prostate i are 1.4 million cases of prosta
