Researchers believe that to ensure our future, we must strive not only for a greener world, but also a healthier one.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for a significant increase in the number of cancer cases worldwide until 2050. The expected increase is 77%, or approximately 35 million new cancer cases. In turn, scientists named the factors that cause this disease. France 24 writes about it.
“Air pollution, especially the tiny particles found in exhaust fumes, can penetrate deep into the lungs, reaching tiny air sacs called alveoli, where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. This is where they cause inflammation and disrupt cell function, leading to cancer. This is “a subtle but dangerous process in which the lung’s defense mechanisms inadvertently trigger a chain reaction that can result in the formation of the tumor,” the researchers said.
In addition to air pollution, the WHO forecast is influenced by population growth, along with which the number of cancer cases is increasing.
Experts also say that people today are living longer, and since the risk of cancer increases with age, this also contributes to the increased incidence.
Other factors that cause cancer include mental well-being and the influence of substances such as tobacco and alcohol.
It will be remembered that General Hospital star John Jay York started the process of blood stem cell transplantation.
