The Claim
Lung, stomach, and cervical cancers accounted for approximately 50% of all preventable cancer cases worldwide in 2022, as these cancers are associated with modifiable risk factors including smoking, infections, and other preventable exposures.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In 2022, almost half of all cancer cases that could have been avoided around the world were lung, stomach, and cervical cancers, because things like smoking and infections that we can control played a big role in causing them.
See the scientific wording
Lung, stomach, and cervical cancers represented nearly half of all preventable cancer cases globally in 2022, based on associations with modifiable risk factors like smoking, infections, and others.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Global and regional cancer burden attributable to modifiable risk factors to inform prevention.
The study looked at cancers caused by things people can change, like smoking or infections, and found that lung, stomach, and cervical cancers made up almost half of those preventable cases, just like the claim says.
