Nature Medicine, Published online: 13 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04310-z Using global cancer incidence data from 185 countries, this study shows that four in ten cancers worldwide are attributable to modifiable risk factors. The findings highlight substantial opportunities for prevention through targeted, population-level interventions adapted to regional and sex-specific risk profiles.
