Also, smoking, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle contribute, as well. Atherosclerosis is sometimes called a "lifestyle disease" because some of the risk factors are within the patient's control.

The best defence against cancer is a generally healthy lifestyle and being aware of body changes, enabling getting an early diagnosis if it should occur.
