Chapter 078. Prevention and Early Detection of Cancer (Part 2) Physical Activity Physical activity is associated with a decreased risk of colon and breast cancer. A variety of mechanisms have been proposed. However, such studies[r]
have been reported for the so-called “high risk” areas of Europe with incidence equally varying with different socioeconomic groups within these areas (Johnson, 1991). Worldwide, it is estimated that about 300,000 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer in 2010 (Jemal et al.,[r]
