Alcohol consumption has been associated with cancers of the prostate, liver, throat and larynx. Regular exercise, even just a brisk walk most days of the week, can significantly reduce risks for colorectal cancer. Limiting exposure to sunlight by using sunscreen, wearing long sleeve shirts, staying in the shade or avoiding mid-day sunlight can greatly diminish risks for melanoma. Overall, almost two-thirds of the adults who visit physicians are women. Simply having regularly scheduled visits with their physicians can significantly reduce the rate of mortality among men.
Screening tests are readily available for colorectal, prostate and skin cancers.
Screening and treatment options should be discussed with a physician. They can choose to abstain from tobacco, eat a proper diet, get regular exercise, and have regular checkups with their physicians.
