OP ED: It's not smoking, alcohol, the sun or hair dye. Nope, the most important risk factor for #cancer is aging, an unavoidable condition that we will all experience. @ubc-vnursing.bsky.social‬ prof Dr. Kristen Haase discusses in @ca.theconversation.com‬
theconversation.com
The leading risk factor for cancer isn’t what you think
The factor most associated with cancer is unavoidable: aging. Older adults with cancer benefit from a geriatric assessment before making treatment decisions, but this is still not routine care.
