National Cancer Prevention Month, observed every February, is dedicated to raising awareness about cancer prevention strategies, early detection, and healthy lifestyle choices that can reduce cancer risk. The month serves as a reminder of the importance of regular screenings, a balanced diet, physical activity, and avoiding known carcinogens like tobacco and excessive sun exposure.

Key Focus Areas:

• Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Encouraging a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, while limiting processed foods and red meats.
• Physical Activity: Regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight, reducing the risk of several types of cancer.
• Regular Screenings: Early detection through screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap tests can improve survival rates.
• Avoiding Carcinogens: Limiting alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, and protecting skin from excessive sun exposure.
• Vaccinations: HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines can prevent virus-related cancers.
