At the moment, there seems to be a daily 'cancer story' in the press. Today's suggests that height and propensity to cancer are related. Among the cancers named in this news story from the BBC is the one I had - but I'm only 1.64m tall, only just on the borderline for the apparent 16% increased risk! Well, I must have been very unlucky, then, mustn't I?
Personally, I'm tired of the 'scare stories'. Give me real, solid, replicable and reliable evidence and I might start to believe them. At present, I'm waiting for the story entitled, 'Being alive increases cancer risk'.
