Could you please review the following?

Hi,

Would you please review the following?

"Breast cancer, based on available evidence, is one of the major causes of death and disability among women worldwide. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the Eastern Mediterranean Region and in Iran. In addition, at least 35% of the causes of cancer are related to dietary pattern and of 35% of the other factors, obesity and overweight include 5% and alcohol consumption includes 3%. Food factors can be the cause of the disease in subsequent generations through nutrigenomics mechanisms, which explains 15% of the etiology of the disease, all of which are somehow related to dietary pattern and includes a total of 58% of factors. A very important point is that, based on credible evidence, the disease has a high potential for prevention."

Thank you!
