Cancer prevention is crucial, especially for cancers linked to lifestyle choices, such as breast cancer. Dr Bharat Bhushan Khurse, a Consultant Surgical Oncologist at Narayana Hospital, MMI, Raipur, offers straightforward advice on reducing cancer risk.
Maintaining a healthy weight is essential, as obesity is closely associated with an increased risk of certain cancers. Dr Khurse recommends regular physical activity to help keep weight in check and protect against various cancers. Exercise is a powerful tool in the cancer prevention toolkit. In addition to staying active, he emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and protein, but low in fats and processed meats.
Limiting alcohol consumption is also advised. While some studies suggest that moderate drinking might be harmless, exceeding these limits can elevate cancer risks. Regular cancer screenings, such as mammography, are vital. Dr Khurse stresses the importance of these screenings for early detection, particularly for women over forty, to identify breast cancer in its earliest stages, potentially years before it can be detected through physical examination.
Following these guidelines can significantly reduce the risk of developing cancer and lead to early detection, improving outcomes.
