The British drink more alcohol than anyone else in Europe, which may be related to the high prevalence of esophageal cancer.

When living in the UK, you should be careful about two diseases: esophageal cancer and liver cancer.

New data shows that the UK has the highest incidence of esophageal cancer in Europe, while the mortality rate from liver cancer has soared by 74% in the past 14 years.

The two cancers share a common theme: excessive drinking and obesity, both of which are commonplace in the UK.

The "Cancer Ranking List" listed by the World Cancer Research Fund in the UK shows that 6.4 people per 100,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with esophageal cancer every year, while the rates in France and Spain are 3.9 and 2.8 respectively.

The island country of Cyprus has the lowest proportion of esophageal cancer patients, only 0.5.

Every year, 8,000 cases of oesophageal cancer are diagnosed in the UK, and 7,000 people die from oesophageal cancer every year.

Rachel Thompson, co-director of the World Cancer Research Fund, said: "Esophageal cancer is a preventable cancer and most cases of esophageal cancer in the UK can be prevented by eating a healthy diet, reducing alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight and quitting smoking.

prevention.

? Dr. Thompson said that the survival rate of esophageal cancer is very low, so prevention is particularly important.

In addition, another statistics published by the British Association for Hepatology shows that the mortality rate from liver cancer in the UK has soared by 74% from 1997 to the present, causing alarm.

Andrew Langford, chief executive of the association, said that although liver disease is not the biggest threat compared with other major killer diseases, its obvious upward trend must be taken seriously.

In addition to factors such as alcohol and obesity, another cause of liver cancer is hepatitis.

Longford said the UK government's efforts to prevent hepatitis were inadequate.

?Many developed countries will implement compulsory vaccination against hepatitis B, but the UK is still discussing whether this is necessary. The government's procrastination on this issue has led to more and more people dying from liver cancer.

? Figures show that 10 people died from liver cancer every day in the UK last year.

Thank you for reading "The UK has the highest prevalence of esophageal cancer in Europe". The article comes from the BBC. We have prepared an introduction to the BBC for you. Please read: The British Broadcasting Corporation, referred to as the BBC, is a government-funded but independently operated public company in the UK*

**Media, has long been considered one of the most respected media outlets in the world.

Before the establishment of Independent Television in 1955 and Independent Radio in 1973, the BBC had been the only television and radio broadcasting company in the United Kingdom.

In addition to being a media company with high visibility around the world, the BBC also provides a variety of other services, including book publishing, newspapers and periodicals, English teaching, symphony orchestras and Internet news services.

In December 2011, the BBC documentary "Frozen Planet" was involved in a fraud scandal and was criticized by the audience.

The British Broadcasting Company (BBC), referred to as BBC, was founded in 1922. It is the largest news broadcaster in the UK and one of the largest news broadcasters in the world.

Although the BBC is a public-owned media that receives financial support from the British government, its management is handled by a 12-member regulatory committee that is independent from the government, and its independence is guaranteed by a royal charter.

The Board of Regulators manages the BBC as trustees of the public interest. They are all prominent figures in society, including the chief ministers of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. They are nominated by the British Prime Minister and appointed by the Queen.

The Executive Committee under the Supervisory Committee is composed of 16 heads of different departments and is responsible for the daily operations of the BBC. The chairman of the committee is the chief executive and also serves as the chief executive.

The BBC currently operates 8 television channels, 10 radio channels, and is directly funded by the British government to broadcast globally in 43 languages.

The BBC is most well-known in the news industry for its strict requirements. All producers must abide by the BBC's working regulations: the Program Producers Code, which puts forward detailed requirements for me and all aspects of the reporting business at the BBC headquarters.

Before the establishment of the BBC, many private companies had attempted radio broadcasting in the UK.

Under the Radio Act 1904, the British Post Office is responsible for issuing radio broadcasting licenses.

In 1919, the Postal Service stopped issuing licenses due to numerous complaints from the military that excessive broadcasts were interfering with military communications.

As a result, in the early 1920s, the number of radio stations dropped sharply, and there were increasing calls for a national radio station.

After months of discussions, a committee composed of radio manufacturers finally came up with a plan, and the BBC was born.
