It’s one of the leading causes of death in most countries. According to the WHO, global incidence will increase by 70 per cent in 20 years.
What’s the reason for this vulnerability to cancer in India?
India has adopted a western lifestyle, which is artificial and most assuredly carcinogenic.
What can be done to lower the risk?
