National Cancer Prevention Month, observed annually in February, is a dedicated period to raise awareness about the importance of preventive measures in reducing the incidence of cancer. This initiative aims to empower individuals, communities, and healthcare professionals with knowledge and resources to adopt proactive lifestyle choices that can significantly lower the risk of developing various types of cancer. Early detection through screenings is a key factor in preventing cancer diagnoses.
We also encourage you to be proactive about the following:
- maintaining a healthy diet
- engaging in regular physical activity
- avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption
