Obesity is a material contributing factor in cancer rates [1] [2] [3], although GLP-1 agonists are a potential mitigation against Western diet at scale [4]. Does not solve for PFAS, microplastics [5], and other potential environmental factors causing mutations that potentially lead to cancer unfortunately.

Hopefully, we make immunotherapy progress faster than we poison ourselves with pollution and poor diet.
