Cancer is rising six times faster in women than men due to bad lifestyle choices - as more smoke and drink than ever before

Unhealthy lifestyle raises the level of cancer six times faster in women than men, experts warned last night. Obesity, smoking and drinking have been selected as the primary cause.


Factors such as now set out to send a case of breast cancer, ovary, liver and lung surged during the next 20 years.

A new analysis of Cancer Research UK estimates the incidence of the disease will increase 3.2 percent of women up to the

year 2035, compared with only 0.5 percent for men. In the booking of cancer are much more likely to afflict men.

However, the gender gap begins to close, with projections showing 4.5 million women and 4.8 million men are diagnosed with the disease between 2014 and 2035.

One reason is that more women are smoking and drinking than before, increases the risk of lung cancer, heart and mouth.

But blame also attached by the rise in the price for obesity, which is more closely associated with cancer women.

A risk of cancer of the breast, ovarian and uterine cancer risk among obese women, believed to be due to excess fat affects sex hormones such as oestrogen, that drive tumour growth.


Some 67 percent of men and 57 percent of women in the United Kingdom who are overweight or obese.

Cancer that affects only men, such as prostate cancer and testicular cancer, however, is not believed to be affected by excess body fat.

The results, published in the British Journal of Cancer, breast cancer rates rise estimates 30 percent of 54,000 2014 to 71.000 in the year 2035.

The number of annual cases of ovarian cancer will jump 43 percent to 10,500 per year, and cancer of the uterus will increase 24% 11,500 cases per year.


Cases of thyroid gland cancer in women, which is also closely linked to obesity, would almost double the 4,800 per year. 

Lung cancer in women is expected to increase by 38 percent to 30,000 cases per year, and liver cancer by 78 percent to 3,400 per year.
Cervical cancer also is expected to soar, even though experts expect the new HPV vaccine was introduced for girls of the school will reverse the trend.

The leader of the study, Dr Rebecca Smittenaar said: ' with obesity rates on the rise in recent years, we really started to see this cancer on the rise among women. Obesity linked to cancer of the breast, uterine and ovarian cancer. '

Although the overall price of Cigarettes left in the entire Kingdom of United Kingdom, historically women take up the habit in large numbers after it was already popular among men.

Dr Smittenaar added: "we have not seen a peak in cases of lung cancer among women, which already decreased among men. Women who started smoking in the 50s, 60s and 70s are now being diagnosed with lung cancer."

Experts called last night for women to record the results and change their lifestyle to reduce risk.

Dr Richard Berks, breast cancer now, says the disease is already a public health problem now, and it just gets worse.

He added: ' simple lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, get regular exercise and cut out alcohol will reduce the rates of other cancers, too. '

Sarah Toule, by the World Cancer Research Fund, adding: "our evidence shows that about a third of the most common cancers could be prevented if people who are a healthy weight, healthy diet and more active. For breast cancer, does this mean that prevents about two out of five cases."

Professor Kevin Fenton, public health UK, says: ' the most important thing we can all do to prevent and reduce the risk of cancer, stop smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active and who care for cancer screening when invited. 

'Other experts urged the Government to intervene by investing in research and better care.
Katherine Taylor, of ovarian cancer action, said: the sharp increase in incidence prediction ' simply must not be realised. 

These numbers will not be so significant if ovarian cancer gets the attention it deserves. "

Robert music, Joshua cervical cancer Trust, called the proportional increase in cancer cases in women ' very worrying '. 

The increase coincided with a decline in the prevalence of screening for cervical cancer, which is now a 19-year low in the UK.

Sir Harpal Kumar, Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK, said: ' these new figures reveal the challenges we continue to face, both in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.'
