Why the future of cancer prevention starts from within
An excerpt from Crave: The Hidden Biology of Addiction and Cancer. Prevention, as commonly understood, has struggled to match the evolving reality of cancer. The traditional model rests on two main ideas: Reducing exposure to known carcinogens and detecting abnormalities as early as possible. Avoid tobacco, wear sunscreen, and get screened. These recommendations remain useful, yet they are incomplete. They overlook the terrain in which disease develops.

Research article Open Access Published: 05 July 2021 BMC Public Health volume 21, Article number: 1238 (2021) Cite this article Abstract Background Vitamin D has been identified as a potential protective factor in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). We expect to see a stronger association of ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure and CRC crude rates with increasing age since chronic vitamin D deficiency leads to sustained molecular changes that increase cancer risk.
