Tariq Drabu Advises That Nine of Ten Cancers Are Lifestyle Related in 2016

Tariq Drabu said "USA research has revealed that lifestyle choices are a leading contributor to cancer on a global scale."

Tariq Drabu is a Manchester born and educated dentist. He is also one of the youngest dentists to ever graduate in the United Kingdom at twenty one years of age. After graduation he worked in some of the busiest dental hospitals in the UK and Saudi Arabia before receiving his Fellowship in Dentistry at the College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Today he is the owner of the successful Langley Dental Practise and is also the Clinical Lead Dentist for the Oral Surgery Clinical Assessment and Treatment Services at NHS Heywood Middleton and Rochdale. He also finds time in his exceptionally busy schedule to tutor and mentor postgraduate dentists in oral surgery at the UCLAN Dental Clinic in Preston.

Tariq Drabu was speaking about an article recently published on a top dental news website. The full article, which was published on 4 January 2016, can be read on Dental-Tribune.

Tariq Drabu said “USA researchers have revealed that lifestyle choices are a leading contributor to cancer. Environmental and external factors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, sun exposure, air pollution and more results in nine out of ten cancers, all of which could be prevented.”

Tariq Drabu went on to say “External influences have a greater impact that it was originally believed the new study has revealed. Cell mutations were significant in tumour development, but studies are now showing that cancer incidences are too high to be a simple cell mutation. Researchers at Stony Brook University in New York suggests that cancer incidents are too high to be a simple cell mutation and that external influences are playing a much bigger role that we originally anticipated.”

Tariq Drabu in Manchester closed in saying “Rare cancers are a genetic mutation, but others are lifestyle related. Lifestyle contributes to ten to thirty percent of cancer cases. Good examples include colorectal cancer, which is seventy five percent diet related, while eight six percent of skin cancer cases are a result of sun exposure and seventy five percent of head and neck cancers are tobacco and alcohol related. There were more than eight million deaths in 2012 on a global scale that were cancer related.”
