Three Key Cancer Causes: A Ukrainian Oncologist's Insight

Three Key Cancer Causes Explained by Ukrainian Oncologist Ukraine - A video by oncologist onkology_tur has highlighted three key factors contributing to cancer development. The oncologist, known for his clear explanations, emphasizes the importance of preventative measures. Genetic predisposition plays a significant role, with inherited or acquired genetic mutations influencing cell growth and division. "Genetic mutations, whether inherited or acquired, are a primary driver of cancer," explains onkology_tur in the video. He cites the BRCA1-2 gene mutation as an example linked to breast cancer. Environmental factors, including smoking, exposure to chemicals, and radiation, also contribute significantly. Unhealthy lifestyles and obesity further increase the risk. Onkology_tur states, "Up to 30% of cancer cases are linked to smoking alone." Infections, such as HPV, Hepatitis B and C, and Helicobacter pylori, are also identified as risk factors for various cancers. The oncologist stresses the importance of regular checkups and a healthy lifestyle to mitigate these risks. The video's clear presentation and focus on prevention make it a valuable resource for public health awareness.
