Dr. Dino Prato says 600,000 Americans will die of cancer this year, but the WHO estimates 40% of those deaths could be prevented. He argues the healthcare system prioritizes profits over prevention, leaving a gap in actionable steps people could take to reduce cancer risk.
600,000 Americans will die from cancer this year, and none of that needs to happen. We can avoid the majority of these. The World Health Organization just admitted 4 out of 10 of those deaths didn't have to happen at all. And here's the key: it never had to exist in the first place. And here's the part that makes us all furious. Your doctors aren't talking about this. The healthcare system didn't build a prevention pipeline around our health and living longer. It built it on insurance companies, incentivized Big Pharma, multi-billion-dollar global organizations, and big hospitals. There's so much that we can do to prevent cancers on a really high level.
