Abstract

It has long been known that many cancers are attributable to modifiable risk factors such as smoking, unhealthy diet, or infection. As early as 1967, the Englishman Sir Richard Doll published a book dealing exclusively with risk factors of this kind and with cancer prevention. According to Doll, around 40% of cancer deaths in men and 10% of those in women are due to risk factors that can be modified (1).

For Germany, the number of cancer cases triggered by modifiable factors is unknown. The answer is of immediate public health interest, because these tumors—at least theoretically—are avoidable.
