Abstract
Worldwide, cancer is the second leading cause of death next to cardiovascular disease. It was estimated that in the year of 2008, over 12.7 million new cancer cases have occurred worldwide and 7.6 million people died due to cancer. It accounted for around 20% of all deaths in the year of 2008. Environmental factors are responsible for most of the cancers, in which, modifiable risk factors play a major causative role and these are avoidable. The main risk factors associated with cancers are tobacco use, alcohol consumption, infections, dietary habits and physical inactivity. Tobacco use accounts for 50% of all cancers in males.
