When you say no cancer prevention whatsoever I think you are referring to just lung cancer. I do not know much about their national lung cancer recommendations but I do know that Japan has actually had a very robust GI cancer screening history compared to the US. This is partially due to their incidence of gastric cancer being much higher than in the US.
- ekianjo 10y agoYup, and the main reason for having so much GI cancer is basically alcohol abuse. Salarymen going to drink several times a week with colleagues and having always a beer on your table at home certainly does not help. Korea has the exact same problem, and very high Gastric Cancer rates as well.
