Causes of Cancer Approximately 75% of cancer could be prevented by eliminating Smoking (60%) Obesity (10%) Other dietary factors (10-30%) Infectious Agents(18%) Developed Countries (8%) Developing Countries (26%) Alcohol (1.4%) Sunlight (1.4%) Air pollution (1.4%) Occupation (1.4%) Physical activity (1.4%)
13
Cancer Prevention Prevention offers the most cost-effective long-term strategy for the control of cancer At least one-third of all cancer cases are preventable. –Reduction of tobacco use –Healthy Diet –Reduction obesity –Increase in physical activity –Control of cancer-related infectious agents: HPV HBV & HBC HIV H. Pylori
14
Cancer Prevention Past two decades, good progress in developing and using effective: –Cancer prevention strategies –Early detection interventions –Treatments Largely through public health efforts we have seen reduction in mortality from cancer: –Cervical –Breast –Colorectal cancer –Lung Cancer

Ten Recommendations for Cancer Prevention: WCRF/AICR Second Expert Report 1.Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight 2.Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day 3.Avoid sugary drinks/Limit consumption of energy-dense foods 4.Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes such as beans 5.Limit consumption of red meats (such as beef, pork and lamb) and avoid processed meats
18
Ten Recommendations for Cancer Prevention: WCRF/AICR Second Expert Report 6.Limit alcoholic drinks to 2 for men and 1 for women a day 7.Limit consumption of salty foods and foods processed with salt (sodium). 8.Don't use supplements to protect against cancer 9.Best for mothers to breastfeed exclusively for up to 6 months and then add other liquids and foods. (*) 10.After treatment, cancer survivors should follow the recommendations for cancer prevention (*) *Special Population Recommendations And always remember – do not smoke or chew tobacco

HPV Vaccines Protect against HPV infection and HPV-related diseases. Gardasil® and Cervarix® have been shown to protect against most cervical cancers in women. HPV vaccines offer the greatest health benefits to individuals who receive all three doses before having any type of sexual activity. Recommended for preteen girls and boys aged 11 or 12 years. Initiation and completion of HPV vaccination is still low. P ARENTS, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND IMMUNIZATION PARTNERS HAVE A ROLE IN PREVENTING HPV DISEASE
