Around 4 in 10 cancers are linked to things you can change. Here's exactly what to change.
The World Health Organization's 2026 analysis found that about 37% of new cancer cases worldwide came from avoidable causes like tobacco, infections and alcohol. Lower Your Risk turns the official advice from the WHO, cancer research charities and national health services into one clear plan: what matters most, what's a myth, which vaccines and screening tests you need at your age, and a 90-day plan to act on it.
- The full Lower Your Risk playbook (phone or laptop)
- The causes ranked by how much they actually matter, so you stop worrying about the wrong things
- Tobacco in every form, including gutka, khaini, paan and areca nut, with a quit plan
- Screening and vaccine tables for the US, UK and India, by age
- The warning signs that mean "see a doctor", the myths to ignore, and a 90-day plan with trackers
What's inside
How risk really works
Why cancer is partly luck and partly not, what "causes cancer" actually means, and the causes ranked by how much they matter.
The big three
Tobacco in every form (with a quit plan that works), alcohol, and body weight: the changes that move your risk the most.
Food, movement and sun
What the evidence says about meat, fibre, processed food and hot drinks, a simple activity plan, and sun protection that actually works.
Vaccines and infections
HPV, hepatitis B and C, H. pylori: the most underused protection there is, and who should get what.
Screening and warning signs
US, UK and India screening tables by age, plus the symptoms that mean "book a doctor" and how soon.
Myths and the 90-day plan
Alkaline diets, supplements, phones and deodorants checked against the evidence, then a week-by-week plan and trackers.
Questions
Will this stop me getting cancer?
No guide can promise that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What the evidence shows is that around 4 in 10 cancer cases are linked to causes people can change, and that finding cancer early makes treatment work better. This playbook helps you do both. It lowers risk; it can't remove it.
Where does the information come from?
The World Health Organization and its cancer agency IARC, the World Cancer Research Fund, the American Cancer Society, the US CDC and Preventive Services Task Force, the NHS, Cancer Research UK and India's national programmes. Every source is listed at the back.
Is this medical advice?
No. It's an education guide that helps you understand the evidence and ask your doctor the right questions. If you have symptoms, a family history of cancer or a medical condition, see a doctor.
Does it sell supplements or special diets?
No. The evidence says supplements don't prevent cancer and some have made things worse. There's nothing to buy beyond this guide.
