This is based on a study
40、involving not just a few thousand, but 900,053 people, spanning many years.The study, started in 1982 by the American Caner society, included man and woman from all 50 states. The youngest participants were 30 years old, and the average age was 57 years old. By December 1998, 24% of the participants
41、 had died, just over a quarter of them from cancer.

But many of them dont have good lu
44、ngs. So, in another way, they also face risks.As for why extra weight leads to excess cancer death rate, theres no clear agreement.

45、 makes the management of cancer more difficulty, just as it does other conditions.
