Love = Prevention

With cupid out and about this month, we couldn’t help but think about our fondness for our patients and their families.  And what better way to do that this month than to share cancer prevention articles and tips in celebration of National Cancer Prevention Month.

 One article from the American Cancer Society provides some everyday steps to help lower your cancer risk. Another good resource from the American Institute for Cancer Research gives three simple guidelines for cancer prevention.

 Equally important for prevention is early detection and scheduling appropriate cancer screenings, particularly mammograms for breast cancer, PSA and DRE exams for prostate cancer, PAP smears for cervical cancer, colonoscopies for colon cancer, and skin exams for skin cancer. For more information about finding cancer early, read more about the American Cancer Society’s recommended screening guidelines.
