My idea is explained in the concerned article (CANCER – THE ULTIMATUM FROM OUR CHEMICAL BASED CIVILIZATION, available in my Research Gate account or at www.animalmedicalresearch.org). I want to Know your comment.

The causes of cancer: quantitative estimates of avoidable risks of cancer in the
United States today.
Doll R, Peto R.
Evidence that the various common types of cancer are largely avoidable diseases
is reviewed. Life-style and other environmental factors are divided into a dozen
categories, and for each category the evidence relating those particular factors
to cancer onset rates is summarized. Where possible, an estimate is made of the
percentage of current U.S. cancer mortality that might have been caused or
avoided by that category of factors. These estimates are based chiefly on
evidence from epidemiology, as the available evidence from animal and other
laboratory studies cannot provide reliable human risk assessments. By far the
largest reliably known percentage is the 30% of current U.S. cancer deaths that
are due to tobacco, although it is possible that some nutritional factor(s) may
eventually be found to be of comparable importance. The percentage of U.S. cancer
deaths that are due to tobacco is still increasing, and must be expected to
continue to increase for some years yet due to the delayed effects of the
adoption of cigarettes in earlier decades. Trends in mortality and in onset rates
for many separate types of cancer are studied in detail in appendixes to this
paper. Biases in the available data on registration of new cases produce apparent
trends in cancer incidence which are spurious. Biases also produce spurious
trends in cancer incidence which are spurious. Biases also produce spurious
trends in cancer death certification rates, especially among old people. In (and
before) middle age, where the biases are smaller, there appear to be a few real
increases and a few real decreases in mortality from some particular types of
cancer, but there is no evidence of any generalized increase other than that due
to tobacco. Moderate increases or decreases due to some new agent(s) or habit(s)
might of course be overlooked in such large-scale analyses. But, such analyses do
suggest that, apart from cancer of the respiratory tract, the types of cancer
that are currently common are not peculiarly modern diseases and are likely to
depend chiefly on some long-established factor(s). (A prospective study utilizing
both questionnaires and stored blood and other biological materials might help
elucidate these factors.) The proportion of current U.S. cancer deaths attributed
to occupational factors is provisionally estimated as 4% (lung cancer being the
major contributor to this). This is far smaller than has recently been suggested
by various U.S. Government agencies. The matter could be resolved directly by a
"case-control" study of lung cancer two or three times larger than the recently
completed U.S. National Bladder Cancer Study but similar to it in methodology and
unit costs; there are also other reasons for such a study. A fuller summary of
conclusions and recommendations comprises the final section of this report.
