Cancer rates are seen increasing in dramatic fashion as longer lifespans and the adoption of poor Western eating habits take hold of Asian citizens in the coming decade.

Lifestyle choices like smoking, drinking and eating unhealthy foods may increase, and since all are linked to various forms of cancer, the rate of several cancers is most likely going to see a significant increase.

Why are Asian citizens adopting our bad habits in increasing numbers? Who knows, although the effect cultures have on each other is now slowing down due to how global all our lives have become. Want to abstain from the possibility of cancer? Don't use tobacco, eat healthy and get regular exercise.
