For the past 20 years, there has been a growing recognition that
we need to balance our expectations of advances in treatment with
a greater emphasis on preventive strategies. The burden of
cancer can be reduced in two ways - by preventing cancer from
occurring at all and by improving treatment and services for those
who do develop the disease, as well as their family and friends.
International cancer studies suggest that at least two-thirds of cancers are preventable.
Lifestyle choices like these make a difference:
f __ Be a non smoker...Choose smoke-free spaces... Help
children to remain smoke-free
Each year, thousands of Canadians die from tobacco-
_ * I related illnesses, including cancer, heart disease and
stroke. The Canadian Cancer Society doesn't want you to be
another statistic.
Eat properly
Diet, including alcohol, has been linked to cancers
of the breast, colon, mouth, stomach, pancreas and
prostate. It is estimated about 35% of cancers are
related to what you eat. The Canadian Cancer
Society believes a healthy diet is one of the best
defences. The Society recommends following
Canada's Guidelines for Healthy Eating, designed to
promote well-being and reduce the risk of developing
health problems such as cancer, heart disease,
diabetes and obesity.
Avoid the sun
Skin cancer is almost always curable
if treated early. Our "Sunsense"
message is simple. "Slip! Slap! Slop!"
Slip on a shirt...Slap on a hat...Slop on
some sunscreen.

Take responsibility for your own Breast Health
Have a mammogram every two years between 50 and 69 years of age, practise breast self
examination when you reach 40 and get a regular examination of your breasts by a health
professional every year. Currently, breast cancer cannot be prevented but positive breast
health behaviours and treatment breakthroughs can reduce premature death and disability
caused by breast cancer in women.

A commitment to the vital research programs in Canada is essential. The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) invests in the most promising
research across the country. The money the Society raises for research is distributed by its research affiliate, the National
Cancer Institute of Canada, through a stringent peer review system. This research has provided results:
• In 1970, the five-year survival rate for childhood leukemia was 50 per cent, today it is 83 per cent;
• In 1970, the five-year survival rate for testicular cancer was 73 per cent, today it's 95 per cent;
• In 1970, the five-year survival rate for Hodgkin's Disease was 60 per cent, today it's 80 per cent.
Through money raised during the April canvass, a large portion of the research grants goes to "fundamental" research
to examine cells, oncogenes, and molecular structure that will provide answers about many types of cancer.
The more you know, the more you can help!
For more information on local programs, contact your local CCS office at 1-519-271-4270 or 1-800-294-0086.
