Summary
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in many countries around the world, including Russia. It is possible to stop the increase in cancer morbidity and reduce it only by measures and methods of cancer prevention. Methods and technologies for preventing various forms of cancer have been developed based on the study of the causes and risk factors of cancer. Cancer prevention is carried out by eliminating or controlling the scientifically proven and potentially modifiable causes and risk factors of this disease [3]. The major modifiable risk factors for cancer are active and passive smoking, overweight and obesity, alcohol abuse, insufficient consumption of vegetables, fruits and greens, dietary fiber and calcium, lack of physical activity, increased ultraviolet radiation; 5 types of infections classified as carcinogenic to humans
