Cancer cases are on the rise, but there is something to be done about it

In addition to an aging population, an unhealthy lifestyle is a driver of cancer. According to oncologist Bernd Kremer of the university hospital in Maastricht, something can be done about this. “We will not reverse the increase in the number of cancer diagnoses in the next ten years,” he said in L1mburg Centraal. “Hopefully this will be possible in the future, for example through initiatives such as a healthy primary school. In this way children learn to eat and drink healthily. In this way we try to reduce cancer.”
