Study: Great warming can increase the risk of women with cancer

A new study, the results of which were published in the journal “Frontier Inn Bablack Health”, revealed that there was a possible relationship between the phenomenon of global warming and an increase in the risk of some types of cancer in women, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. The researchers found that high temperatures were linked to a slight increase in the rate of infection and death with breast, ovarian, uterine and cervical cancer. The researchers said that the high temperatures are linked to the increase in cancer deaths between women, especially ovarian cancer and breast cancer, although the increase in each temperature looks modest, its cumulative effect on public health is significant. The effect of climate change is not limited to the high temperatures, but it also includes the threat of food and water security and air quality weakening, which increases the burden of diseases and deaths worldwide. Natural disasters and sudden climate change disrupts infrastructure, including healthcare systems, can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Risk factors and in the case of cancer, climate change can increase exposure to risk factors such as toxins in the environment, while the chances of obtaining effective medical care. To verify the effect of climate change on the risk of cancer in women, the researchers have chosen a sample of 17 countries in the Middle East and North Africa, where this region has a remarkable increase in temperatures. The team has collected data on the distribution rates and deaths of breast, ovarian cancer and cervical cancer, and compared them to temperature changes between 1998 and 2019. The researchers say that women are more vulnerable to the physiological position of climate-related health risks, especially during pregnancy, and note that the tribulation of women is the result of the expropriation of health. Exposure must have the result of risks, and their inability to access early investigative and treatment services. The results showed that the incidence of different types of cancer increased by 173 to 280 cases per 100,000 people per grade of additional Celsius, as ovarian cancer recorded the largest increase and lower breast cancer. The deaths also increased by 171 to 332 cases per 100,000 people per temperature, with the largest increase in ovarian cancer and the least in cervical cancer. The distribution of cancer and in analysis of data according to the country, the researchers found that the distribution of cancer and deaths in only 6 countries, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and Syria increased. This may be due to the special summer temperatures in these countries, or other factors that the model could not determine. The increase was not uniform between countries. For example, the rate of breast cancer increased by 560 cases per 100,000 people per grade in Qatar, compared to 330 in Bahrain. Although these results indicate that the high temperature around a potential risk factor is for these cancers, it also shows that the effect of heat varies between countries, which indicates the presence of other factors that adapt the risk. For example, high temperatures may be associated with increasing air pollution levels that cause cancer in some areas. The researchers believe that high temperatures are likely to work through various traces, as it increases the exposure to known carcinogens, disrupts healthcare and even affects biological processes at the cellular level. These mechanisms can lead to an increased risk of cancer over time. On the other hand, the increase in appearance can reflect an improvement in cancer examination. However, the best investigation would lead to low deaths, as cancer in the early stages is easier to treat. However, high mortality rates and spread indicate that the most important factor is to increase exposure to risk factors. The first author of the study, Wafaa Abu Al -khair, a researcher at the Faculty of Public Health at American University in Cairo, says that this study cannot prove a direct causal relationship, “although we have taken into account the individual’s GDP, but there are other not -measured factors that can strive for the results of cancer. taking, and emphasizing that strengthening cancer examination programs and building health systems capable of facing climate change and reducing exposure to environmental carcinogens is the most important steps “without treating these gaps, the burden of cancer associated with climate change in growth” will continue.
