One fifth of all cancers worldwide are caused by a chronic infection, for example human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes liver cancer. A third of cancers could be cured if detected early and treated adequately. All patients in need of pain relief could be helped if current knowledge about pain control and palliative care were applied. 40% of cancer could be prevented, mainly by not using tobacco, having a healthy diet, being physically active and preventing infections that may cause cancer.
