Cancer
Prevention and Early Warning Signs
Reducing Your Risks
A report released December 11, 1997, by the Harvard Center
for Cancer Prevention reinforces the results of their 1996
report which clearly indicates 50 percent of all cancer
is preventable by investigation of realistic means of modifying
individual lifestyle factors, public policies, and clinical
practices. The 1996 report states that clearly 50 percent
of all cancer risks could be reduced by following a modified
diet that includes: low- fat, high fiber, and little or
no red meat, as well as, through increased exercise, limiting
alcohol use, and quitting smoking.
The 1997 report found clear evidence relating the risk of
colon cancer and lack of physical activity; 15 percent of
all colon cancer cases are preventable by adding just thirty
minutes of exercise to your daily schedule. Colon cancer
is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, claiming almost
55,000 lives last year alone.
"Exercise is clearly related to a reduced risk of colon
cancer," said Dr. Graham Colditz of the Harvard Center
for Cancer Prevention. "And you keep reducing your
risk more with even more activity."
According to the report more than 60 percent of adults do
not get enough regular physical activity and almost 50 percent
of our children are not getting enough exercise. The report
calls for increased physical education in schools and more
public funding for safe outdoor areas such as bike paths,
playgrounds, and walk ways for children and adults to get
more physical activity.
Women can significantly reduce their risk of cervical cancer
by seeing their gynecologists regularly for Pap smears and
physical examinations. The Pap smear is the only screening
tool for cancer which has reduced the number of deaths from
any type of cancer. Mammograms should begin usually between
the age of 35- 40 for a baseline mammogram. A baseline mammogram
establishes a pattern for comparison with future mammograms.
The FDA's recent approval of the new "estrogen light,"
is a victory for women in the fight against endometrial
cancer; one of the most common forms of cancer in women.
Current estrogens place women at an increased risk for breast
cancer and endometrial cancer. Eli Lilly Co. will sell raloxifene
under the brand name Evista. Raloxifene promises to produce
the benefits of HRT which reduce osteoporosis without the
increased risk of cancer.
In "Safe Sex and Cancer Prevention," former About.com
Cancer Guide, Dr. Barry Tepperman said, "Cervical and
anal cancers have a strong association with a virus transmitted
only by sexual contact, without risks related to blood or
body fluids. Cervical cancer is one of the most common lethal
malignancies of young women. Epidemiologic studies clearly
show that risk of cervical cancer rises as women become
sexually active at earlier ages, have more sexual partners,
and have unprotected sex more often."
Cancer Prevention Tips
• Exercise regularly: Minimum 30 minutes per day. Moderate
regular exercise reduces your cancer risk at least 30 percent.
• Eat a healthy well- balanced diet: low- fat, high- fiber,
little or no red meat, and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Quit smoking or, even better, don't start smoking!: Cigarette
smoking increases your cancer risk by 30 percent. Is that
cigarette really worth dying for?
• Limit your use of alcohol: One drink a day has been found
to reduce some health risks, including significantly reducing
the risk of heart disease but, even one drink a day may
increase the risk of breast cancer by, as much as, 30 percent.
• Smoking combined with alcohol has proven to significantly
increase cancer risks for oral cancer, esophageal cancer,
and other cancers.
• Maintain regular gynecological examinations: including
Pap smears and Mammograms.
• Perform monthly breast self exams.
• Use sunscreen: use an SPF of 15 or higher anytime you're
outdoors and avoid being outdoors during the middle of the
day.
• Practice Safe Sex: Always use a condom unless you are
in a long- term monogamous relationship!
There are as many different possible warning signs, as there
are different types of cancers; here are some possible symptoms;
this is by no means, a complete listing of symptoms. Consult
your physician anytime you experience any unusual symptoms.
• Bladder and Kidney: You may see blood in urine, have pain
or burning, and increased urination.
• Breast: Lump or thickening of lumps, itching, redness
or soreness of the nipples which isn't caused by pregnancy,
breast feeding, or menstruation.
• Cervical, Endometrial, and Uterine:
Bleeding between menstrual cycles, any unusual discharge,
painful menstruation, and heavy periods require consultation
with your physician.
• Colon: Rectal bleeding, blood in your stool or changes
in bowel habits such as persistent diarrhea and or constipation
are warning signs which should be investigated promptly.
