Don’t be afraid of the unknown. Step into the Colon Cancer Free Zone. Presented by the American Cancer Society Understanding Cancer Causes and Prevention
Slide 2-

Common Cancers Colon Cancer Lung Cancer Breast Cancer Cervical cancer Prostate Cancer Skin Cancer
Slide 3-

Estimated 2006 Cancer Cases & Deaths Estimated Cancer Deaths Estimated Cancer Cases
Slide 4-

Removing polyps early may prevent them from becoming cancer Basic Facts About Colon Cancer 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths. 3rd most common cancer in men and women Early colon cancer usually has no symptoms. Signs & symptoms typically occur only in advanced colon cancer. One of the most preventable cancers!
Slide 5-

Colon Cancer Screening Guidelines Yearly Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) or Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) Flexible Sigmoidoscopy every 5 years Yearly FOBT/FIT plus Flexible Sigmoidoscopy every 5 years preferred over either test alone Double Contrast Barium Enema every 5 years Colonoscopy every 10 years The American Cancer Society recommends every man and woman 50 years and older begin testing for colon cancer. The best test is the one you get! Talk with your healthcare provider.
Slide 6-

Basic Facts About Breast Cancer Women have a 1 in 7 chance of getting invasive breast cancer. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 33. Breast cancer death rates are going down. This decline is probably the result of early detection and improved treatment. Most frequently diagnosed cancer in women.
Slide 7-

Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines 40 and Older Yearly mammogram Yearly clinical breast exam 20’s and 30’s Clinical breast exam every three years Any age Report any breast changes such as lump to a doctor right away If at increased risk, talk with a doctor about starting screening earlier or having more frequent exams Earliest sign of breast cancer is usually an abnormality detected on a mammogram before it can be felt by the woman or health care professional.
Slide 8-

Basic Facts About Lung Cancer Accounts for 29% of all cancer deaths. Takes many years to develop and can not be seen on X-ray in early stages. Often metastasizes before it is found. People who don’t smoke but who breathe the smoke of others have a higher risk of lung cancer. Non-smoking spouses of smokers have a 30% greater risk of developing lung cancer than do spouses of nonsmokers. Tobacco smoke causes more than 8 out of 10 cases and 1 in 5 deaths from lung cancer
Slide 9-

Lung Cancer Screening Lung Cancer screening is currently not advised even for people at higher risk, such as those who smoke. National 10-year study (launched in 2002) looking at whether a new x-ray method called spiral CT scanning can reduce lung cancer deaths. Smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the U.S.
Slide 10-

Basic Facts About Cervical Cancer When found and treated early, cervical cancer often can be cured. Symptoms usually do not appear until abnormal cervical cells become cancerous. Vaccines against HPV have been developed and shown to be effective. New cases and deaths from cervical cancer have gone down in the past several years due to screening. The primary cause of cervical cancer is infection with human papillomavirus (HPV).
Slide 11-

Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines Screening should begin 3 years after a woman becomes sexually active, but no later than 21 years of age. The American Cancer Society recommends screening with the regular Pap test every year or the liquid-based Pap test every 2 years. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer can be prevented if a women is screened regularly.
Slide 12-

Basic Facts About Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in men, second only to lung cancer. While 1 man in 6 will get prostate cancer during his lifetime, only 1 man in 33 will die of this disease. 65% of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men 65 and older. African American men are at higher risk. Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men.
Slide 13-

Prostate Cancer Screening Guidelines Beginning at age 50, men should be offered the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test and a digital rectal examination (DRE) every year. African American men are at increased risk for prostate cancer and should be tested beginning at age 45. Men with a father, brother, or son with prostate cancer before age 65 should be tested. The 5-year survival rate for men diagnosed at a local or regional stage approaches 100%.
Slide 14-

Basic Facts About Skin Cancer Melanoma Accounts for about 4% of skin cancer cases, but causes about 79% of skin cancer deaths. The number of new cases of melanoma in the U.S. is on the rise. Non-melanoma (basal cell or squamous cell) Most common type of skin cancer – more than 1 million cases a year Most curable People do not often die of these cancers. About 1,000 to 2,000 people die of non-melanoma skin cancer per year in the U.S. Men get these cancers about twice as often as women. Two main types of skin cancer are melanoma & non-melanoma
Slide 15-

Skin Cancer Early Detection Melanoma ABCD rule Asymmetry Border irregularity Color variability Diameter > 6 mm (E for enlargement of evolution?) Non-melanoma Nonhealing, changing, growing sore or bump The best detection is to recognize changes in skin growths or appearance of new growths.
Slide 16-

Risk factors that can’t be changed . Family or personal history of cancer Age Gender Race Genetics Cancer Risk Factors
Slide 17-

Risk factors that can be changed . Use of cigarette & other tobacco products Diet (Obesity) Physical inactivity Alcohol use Sun exposure Cancer Risk Factors
Slide 18-

Choices for good health Reduce Your Risk Follow testing guidelines Know your family history Eat a healthy well balanced diet Get regular exercise Don’t smoke or use other tobacco products Avoid excessive alcohol consumption Use the slip, slap, slop method for skin protection
Slide 19-

Tobacco accounts for about 1/3 of all fatal cancer cases. Reduce Your Risk More than 60 cancer causing agents found in tobacco If a person stops smoking before lung cancer develops, the lung tissue slowly returns to normal. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), tobacco cessation telephone counseling & other counseling services have been shown to be very effective in helping someone quit. One important thing an employer can do is ban tobacco use in the workplace
Slide 20-

About 1/3 of fatal cancer cases could be prevented by better nutrition and physical activity Reduce Your Risk Adults should get moderate to vigorous activity for a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes, 5 or more days a week Shown to reduce risk of breast and colon cancer Children and adolescents should get 60 minutes a day of moderate to vigorous physical activity at least 5 days a week
Slide 21-

Choices for good health Reduce Your Risk Eat 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day Choose whole grain foods Limit your intake of red meat Maintain a healthy weight Balance caloric intake with physical activity Lose weight if currently overweight or obese If you drink alcoholic beverages, limit consumption
Slide 22-

Cancer of the skin is the most common of all cancers. It accounts for about half of all cancers. Reduce Your Risk Slip on a shirt Slap on a hat Slop on sunscreen Look for shade in the in the middle of the day Wrap on sunglasses
