With it being one of the deadliest cancers in women, it's the fifth most common cause of cancer death in women, and remains a conundrum because of how difficult it is to treat. In this article, we will discuss ovarian cancer stages, symptoms, survival rates, and causes, and of course, what you can do for your personal ovarian cancer prevention plan. Ovarian Cancer: Stages, Symptoms, and Survival Rates Early detection is often difficult, with less than 30% of women diagnosed in the early stages of the disease, which is stage I (localized to the ovaries) or stage II (metastasis to the pelvis). A woman's chance of survival is better when it is detected early because the data shows the 10-year survival rate is projected to be 50 - 70% at these early stages. Early detection is key, because the stage III or

Tiny, daily choices determine whether your body fuels prevention or fuels cancer. It may now be possible to unlock cancer prevention through exercise at just 10 minutes a day. Grab your sneakers, leggings, or sweatpants, and let's dig into how exercise fuels cancer prevention.   It's been almost 10 years since the strongest scientific evidence was published that high levels of physical activity help in cancer prevention [1]. With high levels of physical activity, the risk of cancer is reduced by 10 - 20% for the following cancers: Breast Endometrial Colon Bladder Kidney Gastric Esophageal And this high level of physical activity is important for cancer survivors, as the study found an approximately 40% lower risk of cancer in this group of patients. But how exactly does exercise help in cancer prevention? Exerkines, Your Best Friend in Cancer Prevention The scientific evidence points to what's

I am always excited to meet and talk with people who are interested in protecting their health. At a recent Multiple Myeloma cancer prevention event in New York City that I attended a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to do just that. I met a lovely lady who purchased my book at this event and forced me to look at multiple myeloma cancer prevention and some of the risk factors when she asked me, “Can Multiple Myeloma be prevented with diet alone?”  Knowing that there is no known etiology for multiple myeloma and that several risk factors play a role in this disease developing, I said “no, I don’t believe so. There are multiple factors that increase the risk of this disease.” Well I thought about her question, and my response, while on the flight back home. I realized that

Multiple Myeloma: What Causes It and Risk Factors A few weeks ago, I was a panelist discussing how Multiple Myeloma patients can thrive during treatment and beyond (March is Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month). After the panel I met with several audience members who purchased my book and one woman said “My uncle was recently diagnosed with this disease and we don’t know why this happened. What is Multiple Myeloma and what are some of the risk factors?” What Is Multiple Myeloma? Multiple Myeloma is a malignancy (cancer) of the body’s plasma cells. Plasma cells are immune system cells that produce antibodies against viruses, bacteria, and fungi that invade the body and cause infection. Plasma cells, also called plasmacytes, are differentiated B-lymphocyte white blood cells. They are secreted immunoglobulin or antibodies. Plasma cells are responsible for humoral immunity, and without their presence, you may be

Multiple Myeloma and The Overlooked Cancer Prevention Strategy Having worked with multiple myeloma clients in the past, the most frequent question I encounter is "What could I have done to prevent this?" Prior to their diagnosis, none of my clients even heard about multiple myeloma, despite it being the second most commonly diagnosed blood cancer in the world. If you're wondering what cancer prevention looks like for multiple myeloma then look no further than body weight. Multiple myeloma (MM) affects 176,000 people worldwide every year. It is one of those cancers that is often under-reported therefore the actual number of new annual diagnoses may be higher than what is reported. MM patients have cancerous plasma cells. Plasma cells are cells of the immune system. These cells make antibodies to viruses, bacteria, and fungi that invade the body and cause infection. The disease process of

Cancer Prevention for Cancer Survivors My work has me working with LOTS of cancer patients who are called to action because they were recently diagnosed and want to start a cancer prevention game plan. Many healthcare providers may not want cancer patients making lifestyle changes that could interact with cancer treatments but there's a curious case to start one during treatment: habits take time to build. And new research is showing that cancer survivors are NOT the healthiest (and really do need to be). Cancer survivors are not eating healthy. I, for one, place no blame on them. Cancer treatment, with all its never-ending appointments, is hard on the body, mind, and willpower! It takes courage to show up to treatments and the last thing you want to do is cook a healthy meal. Not to mention the ever-abundant processed and ultra-processed

Cancer Prevention (Lung Cancer Edition) A recent conversation with a friend I have not seen in over a year brought sad news about her sister, who was recently diagnosed with lung cancer seemingly out of nowhere. Her sister wasn't a smoker and was considered the family's 'health nut" so to speak. My friend wanted my book on cancer prevention for her sister. They couldn't understand what else she could have done for cancer prevention. So what gives? The lung cancer prevention checklist has often been pretty easy to complete: Don't smoke

  INTRODUCTION It is estimated that 30 - 50% of all cancer cases are preventable.[1]  And if you look at the data, only 5 - 10% of cancers are due to one's genetics (i.e., inheriting genes that cause cancer). [1] The following 10 foods for cancer prevention will help those with a family history of cancer and want to decrease their risk of this disease, or cancer survivors who wish to prevent a cancer recurrence.   10 FOODS FOR CANCER PREVENTION #1 LEAFY GREEN VEGETABLES [caption id="attachment_9110" align="alignleft" width="300"] Leafy green vegetables for cancer prevention[/caption]             Leafy green vegetables are cancer-fighting foods and include kale (both curly kale and lacinato, or dinosaur kale), spinach, green lettuces (e.g., romaine, butter, Boston lettuces, etc.), collard greens, and mustard greens, to name a few. These vegetables provide the following benefits: 1. Protects DNA from damage: Healthy DNA is essential to preventing cancer.
