In many developing countries cancer incidence, insofar as this can be measured, appears much lower, most likely because of the higher death rates due to infectious disease or injury. With the increased control over malaria and tuberculosis in some Third World countries, incidence of cancer is expected to rise.
This proposal has been accepted by Plants of the World Online, [2] among other taxonomic databases. Under this system of classification, Zephyranthes Herb., together with Hippeastrum, is one of two genera in Hippeastrae, subtribe Hippeastrinae, and is treated as consisting of 5 subgenera (number of species): [11] Eithea (Ravenna) Nic.García (2)
The incidence of breast cancer varies greatly around the world: it is lowest in less-developed countries and greatest in the more-developed countries. [7] In the twelve world regions, the annual age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 women are as follows: in Eastern Asia, 18; South Central Asia, 22; sub-Saharan Africa, 22; South-Eastern Asia, 26; North Africa and Western Asia, 28; South ...
Essiac is a herbal tea promoted as an alternative treatment for cancer and other illnesses. [1] There is no evidence it is beneficial to health. In a number of studies Essiac either showed no action against cancer cells, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] or actually increased the rate of cancer growth.
Lower age of first childbirth, compared to the average age of 24, [50] having more children (about 7% lowered risk per child), and breastfeeding (4.3% per breastfeeding year, with an average relative risk around 0.7 [51] [52]) have all been correlated to lowered breast cancer risk in premenopausal women, but not postmenopausal women, in large ...

The American Cancer Society have stated that "there is some evidence from human and lab studies that consuming traditional soy foods such as tofu may lower the risk of breast and prostate cancer, but overall the evidence is too limited to draw firm conclusions". [103] A 2023 review found that soy protein lowers breast cancer risk. [104]
Advertisement for a healthy diet to possibly reduce cancer risk. An average 35% of human cancer mortality is attributed to the diet of the individual. [9] Studies have linked excessive consumption of red or processed meat to an increased risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer, a phenomenon which could be due to the presence of carcinogens in meats cooked at high temperatures.
