Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, and many of these cancers are highly preventable. Approximately 20% of these cases could be related to excess weight, high alcohol consumption and smoking. On the other side, several studies have been recently published about the consumption of some drugs and cancer risk. Some concluded that the extensive exposition of the specific drug could increase some particular risks. These studies searched for associations between drugs exposition and cancer risk, but they were not used this to predict it. This study aims to predict the risk of cancer, in general, by the consumption of the drugs for five years in the Lleida region (Catalonia, Spain). Also, to detect if medicines could be used to predict cancer risk.
