The conclusion of a recent systematic review of the literature on the relation between nutrition, physical activity and cancer is that more than 30% of all cases of cancer can be prevented by improving nutrition and increasing physical activity. In The Netherlands, 1 out of 100 men and 1 out of 160 women develop oropharyngeal cancer. The major risk factors are smoking tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption. According to the systematic review of the literature, a substantial consumption of vegetables and fruit can reduce the risk of this type of cancer.
