\nThe National Cancer Institute estimates that in 2014 about 1,665,540 people will be diagnosed with cancer, and of that number 585,720 people are estimated to die from cancer related causes. 224,210 of those diagnosed will be related to tobacco use alone.<\/p>\n
Mark Prince, M.D., Assistant Professor, Head and Neck Oncology explains the importance of eliminating tobacco use.
\nAnyone can get cancer
\nAnyone can get cancer. One of the biggest factors that can make a person more likely to get cancer is age: 3 out of 4 cancers are found in people aged 55 or older. But there are many other factors that affect cancer risk and some of them can be changed. It is only natural that people are looking for more ways to prevent cancer.<\/p>\n
Can cancer be prevented?<\/strong>
\nBut is there a way to guarantee that you or your loved ones won’t get cancer? So far, nothing has been found that is proven to prevent every case of cancer. Right now we know there are ways to prevent many cases of cancer in large groups of people. And there are things you can do that might help reduce your personal chance of getting cancer.

\nPrevention Pathway: The Way to Reduced Cancer Risk
\nAn Ounce of “Cancer Pevention”<\/p>\nLifestyle Choices May Prevent Cancer<\/strong>
\nFor people who do not use tobacco, the most important cancer risk factors that can be changed are body weight, diet, and physical activity. One-third of all cancer deaths in the United States each year are linked to diet and physical activity, including being overweight or obese, while another third is caused by tobacco products.
\nSome diet and exercise recommendations developed by the American Cancer Society\u2019s Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee and approved by the American Cancer Society National Board of Directors are:
\nAchieve and maintain a healthy weight throughout life
\nBe physically active
\nAdults:
\nGet at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity each day (or a combination of these), preferably spread throughout the week.
\nChildren and teens:
\nGet at least 1 hour of moderate or vigorous intensity activity each day, with at least 2.5 hours of moderate intensity aerobic activity each week.
\nLimit sedentary behavior such as sitting, lying down, watching TV, and other forms of screen-based entertainment.
\nDoing some physical activity above usual activities, no matter what one\u2019s level of activity, can have many health benefits.
\nEat a healthy diet, with an emphasis on plant foods
\nGet Routine Medical Care
\nMammogram
\nWomen age 40 and older should have a screening mammogram every year and should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health, or up to age 70 if there are no other risk factors.
\nColonoscopy
\nBeginning at age 50, both men and women at average risk for developing colorectal cancer should use one of the screening tests:
\nFlexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years
\nColonoscopy every 10 years
\nDouble-contrast barium enema every 5 years
\nCT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years
\nPap smear
\nAll women should begin cervical cancer testing (screening) at age 21. Women aged 21 to 29, should have a Pap test every 3 years. HPV testing should not be used for screening in this age group (although it may be used as a part of follow-up for an abnormal Pap test). Beginning at age 30, the preferred way to screen is with a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. This is called co-testing and should continue until age 65. Another reasonable option for women 30 to 65 is to get tested every 3 years with just the Pap test.
\nOther Health Tips
\nIndividuals should check their skin for moles that are new, large, or irregular; contain more than one color; or change color.
\nAn open dialogue with a family doctor supports important preventive measures on a timely basis, and if any tests suggest possible cancer, the result can be further explored quickly.
\nWomen in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam (CBE) as part of a periodic (regular) health exam by a health professional, at least every 3 years. After age 40, women should have a breast exam by a health professional every year.
