When I was in my mid-40's my doctor recommended that I get Gardisil shots. I'm male and my doctor had seen cases of throat, penile and anal cancer in a growing number of patients so was recommending it for even someone like me. I originally thought Gardisil was for just young girls who had never had sex or been exposed to HPV. But now, 13 years later I'm grateful to have taken this step "just in case" I also make sure to tell other men (young and old) to get the shots. I paid $600.00 for 3 shots, but in Canada I believe it's free for those who are younger.
Wish there had been a vaccine for me when I was younger. I was recently diagnosed with hpv positive squamous cell carcinoma tonsil cancer which spread to lymph node on one side of my neck. I'm in recovery from surgery now( toselectomy and neck disection) . I never even knew I had been exposed to hpv or how long ago ! Apparently, case numbers are on the rise for this type of head and neck cancer.
I think it is approved up to mid 40's for insurance coverage in the US. It got my 2nd and 3rd shot free though Medicare and I'm older than mid 40's. Covers the cancer causing HPV viruses, (plural!). I'd say all ages should get it just in case you haven't been exposed to these specific strains. I think there are more than 40 HPV viruses known.
@@LongstorieNo evidence covid vaccines cause cancer. In fact I’ve seen a quite a few case studies of cancer going into remission after covid vaccination.
This study dealt with specific causes as leading risk factors. For every factor, including smoking, the study allowed for other factors. Every factor listed is a life style factor over which the individual has significant control. Most individuals have virtually no control over exposure to air pollution (and ironically enough, that would include second hand smoke!). Even if you moved to some remote area you will be exposed to some air pollution.

These are basically a lot of typical mast cell triggers listed. Cancer could be associated with overactive mast cell activation as well, I read. Avoid more mast cell triggers like synthetic food, synthetic beverages, toxic stress, additives, dyes, all the manmade chemicals that the body cannot actually break down.
If you haven't watched "Cancer: The Emperor of all Maladies" on PBS, it's a GREAT 3 part series by Siddhartha Mukherjee. He reiterates "stop smoking", "stop smoking", "stop smoking", "stop smoking", "stop smoking"!
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity, get enough sleep and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks including fruit juices are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community
@@KJSvitko I can disagree with avoiding juice (no added sugar), milk, eggs (superfood), cheese and meat. Remember some of the oldest people who ever lived ate these foods. My top tip is intermittent fasting. The oldest person who ever lived Jeanne Calment (died age 122) never ate breakfast and the oldest person who ever lived in the US Walter Breuing (died age 114) ate 2 meals a day and never ate at night. In fact Walter attributed his good health and longevity to intermittent fasting. “All types of caloric restriction or fasting extends healthy lifespan, reduces risk factors for cancer and cardiovascular disease (the top 3 causes of death in Australia), and delays onset of age-related diseases, including cancer, type II diabetes, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. In response to decreased caloric intake, metabolic changes create health-promoting shifts in the body function, including increased insulin sensitivity and decreased blood glucose, decreased cholesterol and triglycerides, decreased inflammation and angiogenesis (the ability of cancers to develop their own blood supply).” - Melbourne Integrative Onocology Group - Intermittent Fasting in Cancer
A carnivore diet is THE proper human diet. Eliminate all sugar, carbs, “seed/vegetable” oil. Eliminate all processed food. Cheese, eggs, meats. Eliminate everything else
I think the issue is that there’s no real consensus on what’s really bad for one’s health. Well there is, because smoking, drinking and drug abuse are all terrible for health and there’s consensus on the importance of sleep and exercise but regarding most aspects of diet theres total confusion. We need clearer and science based recommendations about what to eat and what to avoid. And it’s important to get this right because western societies (and to be fair non western) are suffering from increasingly awful metabolic health and have done ever since dietary guidelines altered back in the 80s. (Avoid saturated fat/eat plenty of carbs/avoid cholesterol/ avoid fat generally/deprecation of protein in diet etc).
I'll never ever understand why clever people smoke. Why would you intentionally harm your health? I even know somebody who stopped smoking when they got cancer and then started again after they recovered. I just don't get it.
My mum had 8 skin cancers show up all at once after toxic mould exposure. Mould messing with the immune system triggered off the damaged DNA from excess UV radiation in the past.
What about the whole smoker party, how about it get's evaluated about stress management. I feel like a lot of non smokers who get cancer have the same reaction to stress or rather non reaction. It's a great statistic to see to prevent main reasons to invite cancer, but i think it should be looked into it even closer. Are there meanwhile studies of nicotine users (vape and or gum or band aid nicotine strips) vs. tabac smokers?
My father just passed away from lung cancer. He smoked 2-3 packs a day since he was 12 or so. He made it to 72. On my end, looking at this chart, I need to cut out processed meats, lose weight and get more physically active. Thanks for the video doc, I've been following you for a few years and you always have a great way of presenting information! All the best!
Same here. I also did my dad's cancer/hospice care for lung cancer. Nothing scarier than not being able to breathe & the oxygen machine is maxed out & they don't want to take their morphine...
My grandma died in 2000 at age 88. Smoked since 12 yr old. Lived on 1 lung for the later years. Didn’t die of any organic disease. Woke up one late night to grab her water bottle and missed it.
well sad to hear about your dad he probably generated enough secondhand smoke to inflict harm on all those people who had to put up with his habit. How is it even possible to smoke even one pack a day, so nasty.
Sounds like you're willing to change your life a little bit. In that regard, my suggestion is to read The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, PhD. You'll get lots of good information on pro-active changes for your health. I'm sorry about your Dad - very difficult to go through that.
Thank you. My mom died of lung cancer (Asian lady non-smoker), and there is a data that shows immediate blood relatives have higher percentage of getting it too especially since she was a non-smoker. I recently did a low dose CT, and glad that I am all clear. I will redo it in a few years.
Given that smoking exists at a higher rate amongst the older Asian population than it does in many other ethnicities, I wouldn't be surprised if second hand smoke played a significant role in your mother's case.
YOU should be the one being studied for your longevity! My parents are both also in your demographic: dad born in 1928; mom born in 1937. She’s had NO cancer and he has had prostate cancer, lymphoma, basal cell carcinoma and SCC. Just had a good chunk of his nose removed due to basal cell carcinoma, at age 95.
Excellent video Doc & another one to send to my cousin (M.D.) for viewing. Since CT scans are the choice for viewing bone pathology and MRI scans are the chioce for soft tissue pathology, why do they recommend CT for soft tissue diagnostic procedures? MRI is very safe & effective with absolutely no radiation to the patient. I had discussed this with my cardiologist and he now refers me for my yearly dye injected angiographic procedure using MRI scanning. 👍👍
I don't see nutrition deficiencies in these results. A lot of these causes are immunology; which in turn is heavily influenced by diet. For example. Looking at mass graves from dead in a plague, they found a lot of rickets. This is caused by extreme deficiency in vitamin D [also important for immune system]. A big problem with epidemiology is that it finds correlations, but these are not always the root cause.
Mixed feelings about this way to present 'risks'. It totally ignores the hard fact that lots if not most 'Western' disseases started to rise at the start of last century and suddenly accelerated even more after WW2. This rise is certainly not proportional to our 'bad habbits'. So what risk factors are not mentioned here (and why)? How about the (industrial) polution, the often dubious way our foods are produced and a medical system that is completely focused on profits instead of real results? And why only mention screening for prevention. There should be much more emphasis and effort going to real prevention that people can do themselves. And efforts that should be made by governmental and medical institutions, like stricter rules for food and medicin production with no influence of the producers themselves (who's main focus is making money). Ban bad food or substances or tax them heavily and use that money for real healtcare. How hard can it be? It makes no sense today.
The relationship between UV exposure and skin cancer is not linear. Did they include the threshold value used to determine the UV to cancer correlation used?
I smoked an average of 3 packs a day from 17years old till I was 34 years old. I am 69 years old now. I am a little confused, should I be screened after 35 years of quitting?
Are we just talking about preventable risk factors here? Or all risk factors? For most cancer types, the strongest association we know of is age! I see no mention of this. Also, hereditary cancer syndromes account for about 5-10% of many cancer types. To me, this list only looks at controllable risk factors (lifestyle and infection). Otherwise, it's missing some of the biggest risk factors.
The Cancer society is a business. Red meat and saturated fat do not cause cancer. Sugar, carbs, seed oils, low fat diets and inactivity do. People who have Squamous and Basel cell carcinomas from sun exposure live ten years longer than those who don't. Genetic cancers are a very small percentage. Most cancer is diet and environment related..but not sun exposure.
Not seeing glyphosate on that list. Nor micro plastics. Nor PCBs. Nor the chemicals in sunscreen. Nor the question of possible correlation with certain vaccines. Seems like there are a lot of good questions we need to research more,
cause theyre not a real issue. it seems more like you learned misinformation from social media, now ofc im not saying theres NO risk of those, but theyre very overstated on social media. also you can look em up, google scholar is an easy place to start or even AI thats focused on research
I have CLL and apparently was exposed to a kid who had mono at a friend's party. This is not preventable. I visited my friend who had a funeral and her son had mono. Unknown to me. So not all cancers preventable.
Diagnostics tools unfortunately like CT scan have huge radiation. After losing weight the past 8 months they wanted to do neck down to pelvis CT but i refused, and insisted MRI, but they said MRI is not ideal for lungs bones etc ... I have regained weight.. which i suspect extreme bereavement stress and gut issues caused , but its frustrating to feel uncertain . Fortunately my endoscopy, stool sample were negative and ultrasound abdomen too aoart of benign kidney tumour. Im just afraid of a CT scan and dont feel as bad as months ago when i lost appetite and had an endoscopy and was under extreme stress and weight loss was happening despite eating which made SIBO worse. Any recommendations?
Please note that the recommendation is for heavy smokers to have an annual CT scan. In your case this would have been a one-time scan, so your risk of the CT causing you to have higher risk of cancer would be much lower.
@@rcmrcm3370 I see . They wanted to do many body parts the entire upper body neck down to pelvis. When I asked low dose CT they say we don't do that . Low dose CT seems something new to me .
It is definitely emergency medicine related. We offer ama CME credits and also CE credits for nursing which many organizations accept. Check with them to be sure.
Surprised indoor air pollutants (primarily melamine from carpet, manufactured wood floors, furniture) didn't show up. Maybe because it's so prevalent that it nearly impossible to isolate a decent size population in 1st world economies, but it's been isolated as significant in Singapore and Hong Kong.
is it smoking tabacco or any kind of smoking like marijuana, flavored non tobacco, etc... just curious if its the smoke itself thats a factor and/or the nicotine and other cig additives, or mainly the nicotene etc
It’s likely the toxins from ignition of organic material that is causing it. So because of this, I’m sure the risks are similar for marijuana, but we need more data.
Are any of these proven to be causal relationships or merely associative? Is smoking really a cause of all these cancers, or is it something related to the smoking such as increased stress driving people to smoke, or reduced stress tolerance driving people to smoke, or just an affinity for things that give onesself pleasure in general? Or is it the fact that smokers have more other unhealthy behaviors? Are these the real causes?
dosage makes the poison. its why herbicide and pesticides arent as big of an issue as you think. also farmers are using less and less of it. the latest technologies have DRASTICALLy reduced the usage of em. and the reason farmers want those, is cause pesticide aint cheap, and those technologies saves em money. here we use so little a lot of the vegetables are deemed organic in other countries
It might have to do with the speed at which CT scans and MRIs acquire images. CT scan is much faster and therefore less likely to be affected by the movement of the lung tissue. There are lung MRIs just don’t know if cost effective.
@@Elem70 Experts at NPR and Washington Post. It was all the craze in 2020 and 2021. Honestly, I found it virtue signaling but I have friends who now believe it to be true.
A high or extremely high oxalate diet could really also cause problems like this in the long run - oxalates can be stored in any tissue and cause chronic innflammation and tumors.

After losing weight the past 8 months they wanted to do neck down to pelvis CT but i refused, and insisted MRI, but they said MRI is not ideal for lungs bones etc ... I have regained weight.. which i suspect extreme bereavement stress and gut issues caused , but its frustrating to feel uncertain . Fortunately my endoscopy, stool sample were negative and ultrasound abdomen too aoart of benign kidney tumour. Im just afraid of a CT scan and dont feel as bad as months ago when i lost appetite and had an endoscopy and was under extreme stress and weight loss was happening despite eating which made SIBO worse. Any recommendations?
MRI dye is toxic.does not safely leave body. Many people suffering from it.
While there is radiation associated with CT scan in the big picture screening low-dose CT scan is pretty reasonable
Please note that the recommendation is for heavy smokers to have an annual CT scan. In your case this would have been a one-time scan, so your risk of the CT causing you to have higher risk of cancer would be much lower.
@@rcmrcm3370 I see . They wanted to do many body parts the entire upper body neck down to pelvis. When I asked low dose CT they say we don't do that . Low dose CT seems something new to me .
Medcram What's your thoughts on covid mrna vaccine I know off topic but you think they still safe ?
My husband died of melanoma...a horrible death...I do not go in the sun.
As usual great info well explained for us non medical viewers.
Any info on people who smoke marijuana?
So.. poverty is the greatest risk factor
these are 40% what bout the other 60%? Genetic, environmental radiation, bad water, moles, etc?
Yes
Awesome video doc. Out of curiosity on your website do those CEs work for paramedics? And would any of that material be Emergency Medicine related?
It is definitely emergency medicine related. We offer ama CME credits and also CE credits for nursing which many organizations accept. Check with them to be sure.
Surprised indoor air pollutants (primarily melamine from carpet, manufactured wood floors, furniture) didn't show up. Maybe because it's so prevalent that it nearly impossible to isolate a decent size population in 1st world economies, but it's been isolated as significant in Singapore and Hong Kong.
"Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell" has an interesting video for laymen that just came out on use of exercise on health, vs. weight.
You’re fabulous!!!
is it smoking tabacco or any kind of smoking like marijuana, flavored non tobacco, etc... just curious if its the smoke itself thats a factor and/or the nicotine and other cig additives, or mainly the nicotene etc
It’s likely the toxins from ignition of organic material that is causing it. So because of this, I’m sure the risks are similar for marijuana, but we need more data.
Are any of these proven to be causal relationships or merely associative? Is smoking really a cause of all these cancers, or is it something related to the smoking such as increased stress driving people to smoke, or reduced stress tolerance driving people to smoke, or just an affinity for things that give onesself pleasure in general? Or is it the fact that smokers have more other unhealthy behaviors? Are these the real causes?
As we cannot do randomized control trials, we have to depend on association. However, dose-response curves are highly suggestive of causation.
I wonder how much added ingredients, on the top of tobacco, in cigarettes contribute to cancer. And herbo- pesti- cides are surely a huge factor too
dosage makes the poison. its why herbicide and pesticides arent as big of an issue as you think. also farmers are using less and less of it. the latest technologies have DRASTICALLy reduced the usage of em. and the reason farmers want those, is cause pesticide aint cheap, and those technologies saves em money. here we use so little a lot of the vegetables are deemed organic in other countries
Chapters bro
Okay
What are the cancer risks for smoking cigars? Was that mentioned in the video? If so, I missed it.
All smoking no matter what has the same risks.
i smoke weed!! how bad is it??
VERY BAD!
i know it hasn't been validated by research yet, but surely mri can detect lung cancer. no?
It might have to do with the speed at which CT scans and MRIs acquire images. CT scan is much faster and therefore less likely to be affected by the movement of the lung tissue. There are lung MRIs just don’t know if cost effective.
@@Medcram thank you medcram for your reply. not cost effective, but likely healthier for patient.
Why have so many social pundits, in the past few years alone, say that having a high BMI is healthy?
Clearly the data seems to indicate that lack of exercise and being obese are both independent risk factors for cancer.
Nobody says that
@@Elem70 Experts at NPR and Washington Post. It was all the craze in 2020 and 2021. Honestly, I found it virtue signaling but I have friends who now believe it to be true.
A high or extremely high oxalate diet could really also cause problems like this in the long run - oxalates can be stored in any tissue and cause chronic innflammation and tumors. Be aware about spinach, okra, almonds, nuts, seeds, sweet potatoes, chia, whole grains, raspberries, dark chocolate, pseudograins etc (Sally Norton)
Or, we could wait for Dr Roger Seheult to provide us with evidence. Much like the video you just watched.
@@MichaelJessenthere is already evidence, but no one does it like this guy!!
Thankyou prof! I really appreciate your effort
I’ll keep eating my pound of red meat a day, haha, as it’s a fabulous source of protein, and I do eat dairy, but maybe I need to start drinking milk for calcium. ❤
Dr. Seheult, thank you so very much for this wonderful informative video and also for all your other videos as well. You have the best medical educational videos of all on RUclips. We are all grateful for your hard work and dedication to this channel. You are a hero of sorts.
Thank you so much for those kind words. That the type that keeps people motivated.
