Recently, experts warned about having unhealthy lifestyles as these could increase the chance of developing cancer. Most women have a higher rate of six times faster than men as they are more associated with unfavorable habits like smoking, drinking, and obesity. These factors have been linked to cases of ovarian, breast, liver, and lung cancer which can soar over the next 20 years.

Until 2035, it is assumed that the incidences of having cancer will rise by up to 3.2 percent in women, as stated by a new research from Cancer Research UK. Previously, the disease occurs more likely in men. However, the gender difference is starting to close as the forecast shows that there are 4.8 million men and 4.5 million women diagnosed with the deadly disease from 2014 to 2035.

Apparently, more women tend to drink and smoke than the past, which increases their risk of having liver, mouth, and lung cancer. It is also blamed for obesity, which is more closely associated with cancers occurring in women. Daily Mail Online reported that the risk of having such disease is due to the excess fat that affects oestrogen, a sex hormone found in women. This, however, promotes tumor growth. In the UK alone, there is 57 percent of women and 67 percent of men are suffering from obesity.

A study published in the British Journal of Cancer shows that breast cancer-related cases are will increase by 30 percent, from 54,000 (2014) to 71,000 (2035). Meanwhile, ovarian cancer will rise 43 percent, and an increase of 24 percent in womb cancer. Experts also predicted for a soar of cervical cancer.

Telegraph shared five red flags that women, and even men, should not ignore to lessen the risk of having cancer. This involves a sudden loss of weight, despite not having a y special diet, the presence of blood in a cough, urine and feces, lump in testes, breast, groin, and armpit, and severe aches.
