A member asked:
Is it just me or does it seem that everything causes cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IT'S JUST YOU: I know where you are coming from. Yes there are many things that increase the risk of developing certain cancers. It only does that increase the risk, therefore it is not 100%. For example: tobacco use, alcohol use, tanning beds, high fat low fiber diet, certain infections, smog, gasoline, etc, etc, etc. Best thing to do eat healthy, exercise, annual physical exam and screening test.
