COMMON LIFESTYLE
ASSOCIATED TO CANCERS
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT
INFLUENCE CANCER
• Alkylating agents
o Acute myeloid leukemia, bladder cancer
• Androgens
o Prostate cancer
• Aromatic amines (dyes)
o Bladder cancer
• Arsenic
o Cancer of the lung, skin
• Asbestos
o Cancer of the lung, pleural and peritoneal
mesothelioma
• Benzene
o Acute myeloid leukemia
• Chromium
o Lung cancer
• Diethylstilbestrol (prenatal)
o Vaginal cancer (clear cell)
• Epstein–Barr virus
o Burkitt’s lymphoma, nasal T-cell lymphoma,
post-transplantation lymphoma,
AIDS-associated lymphoma, perhaps some cases
of Hodgkin’s disease,
nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China.
• Estrogens
SMOKING:
The most avoidable risk factor for cancer
• Smoking causes diffuse epithelial injury in
the head, neck, esophagus, and lung.
• Smoking cessation may halt early stages of
the carcinogenic process (e.g., metaplasia); it
may have no effect on late stages of
carcinogenesis.
• The risk of tobacco smoke is not necessarily
limited to the smoker.
o Studies suggest environmental tobacco
smoke may cause lung cancer and other
pulmonary diseases in nonsmokers.
DIAGNOSING CANCER:
Cancer... either you have had it, will develop it at some time, or
know someone who has had it or has it. Whether we like it or
not, cancer affects each one of us directly or indirectly.
Preventing cancer is easier than you may think. Through
simple lifestyle changes, we can reduce our risk of developing
many types of cancer.
1) Avoid smoking, whether it be actual
smoking or secondhand smoke.
We hear a dozen times a day how bad
cigarettes are for us and the risk of lung
cancer.
Why? Because smoking is the most
significant risk factors for cancers that we
can reduce.
Did you know that smoking can increase
your risk of many other cancers?
2) Practice sun safety and recognize when skin
changes occur.
Skin cancer is becoming more common,
especially among young people. Wear
sunscreen
when outdoors, even if it is shady, and try to
avoid the outdoors during the sun's peak
time,which is 10 am - 2 pm. Knowing your
skin's moles and spots is essential. Any
changes
need to be reported to your doctor ASAP.
3) Eat your fruits and veggies.
Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants,
which help repair our damaged cells. Green
veggies and orange and yellow fruits and
veggies are your best bet. Learn more about
antioxidants in this great article, "Antioxidants
and Cancer Prevention"
4) Watch the meats you eat, especially
smoked or cured foods.
Research suggests that a diet high in animal
fat can lead to the development of certain
cancers. A diet high in smoked foods, salted
fish and meat, and pickled vegetables
increases your risk factor for cancer.
5) Limit your alcohol intake.
Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol
regularly increases your risk factor for cancer.
Studies suggest that men who consume 2
alcoholic drink per day and women who have 1
alcoholic drink per day significantly increase
their risk factors for certain types of cancer.
6) Exercise for cancer prevention.
Being overweight greatly increases your risk
factor for developing cancer. So, exercising to
maintain or reach your ideal weight is one of
the best defenses against cancer. Exercising
doesn't have to be a bore, check out Top 10
Best Ways to Prevent Cancer Through
Exercise for some fun ways to exercise.
7) Know your personal and family history
of cancer.
Research tells us that some types of cancers
can be genetic. Knowing your family history
of
cancer can help you make more informed
decisions about your healthcare. It can also
aid in
genetic testing and counseling, to assist you
in finding out if you carry a mutated gene
that
increases your risk factor for cancer. Check
out "Genetic Cancers" for more
information
about genetic cancer, testing and counseling.
8) Know what chemicals you are being
exposed to in your work environment.
If you are exposed to fumes, dust, chemicals,
etc in the workplace, you have a right to know
what you are being exposed to. Gasoline, diesel
exhaust, arsenic, beryllium. vinyl chloride,
nickel chromates, coal products, mustard gas,
and chloromethyl ethers are all carcinogens and
can be found in some work environments. Talk
to your employer about limiting exposure.
9) Practice safe sex.
Unsafe sex can result in the infection of the
HPV virus, a known cause for cervical cancer
and a risk factor for many other cancers. HPV
is a virus transmitted through sexual
intercourse. Learn more about HPV in "HPV:
What is HPV and How Do You Get It?"
10) Be sure to keep up on screening tests like
the Pap, mammograms, and DREs.
Make sure you have regular screening tests like
the Pap smear and mammogram if you
are a woman, and a DRE (digital rectal exam)
if you are a man. The Pap and DRE can
detect cellular changes before they become
cancerous, and the mammogram may be able to
detect breast cancer early. A rectal exam should
be part of a woman's yearly gyn exam.
