Al-Marsad newspaper – agencies: Dr. Yulia Vakhapova, an oncologist at the Cancer Institute of the European Medical Center, identified the categories of people most at risk of developing cancer.

The second category is smokers, as they are seven times more likely to develop cancer compared to non-smokers.
She explained that the third category is people who have a genetic predisposition to cancer.
The fourth category includes people who work in the field of hazardous industries and are in contact with toxic and radioactive materials. Therefore, they should be more careful to protect the skin and organs of the respiratory system and undergo periodic medical examinations.
