Conclusion结语
Current
research will bring more attention to cancer prevention and lifestyle factors
that contribute to cancer development (see Fig. 24.1). Biomarkers—that is,
genetic and molecular characteristics—are being identified that will indicate
with greater precision the risk of various diseases and molecular pathways
contributing to these risks. Furthermore, knowledge of genetic associations
with risk-conferring lifestyles will inform the targeting of interventions
intended to alter detrimental behaviors and/or their carcinogenic outcomes to
appropriate individuals—a form of “precision” medicine. A deeper understanding
of dietary mechanisms will contribute to this knowledge. Thus, in the future,
people in their 30s or 40s, or even younger, will learn about their risks for
developing common and rare diseases and potential lifestyle factors contributing
to their risk. These scientific developments will lead to increased attention
to cancer-preventive strategies involving eating patterns, PA, alcohol limitations,
and tobacco avoidance.
