What Is Cancer?
What is ‘ Cancer’
Healthy Cells• Cells represent the smallest,
functional unit of our existence which contains cytoplasm and a nucleus (i.e. metabolism, reproduction, day to day functions)
• Cells have a specialized function depending on their location in the body.
• Cells grow, replicate and repair body organs.
• The genetic material (DNA/RNA) and your immune system regulate this process.
Different Types of Cells• Blood cells• Muscle cells (smooth,
striated, cardiac)• Nerve cells• Bone cells• Cartilage cells• Liver (hepa) cells
Define Cancer
• Cancer is a term used to describe a large group of diseases that are characterized by a cellular malfunction. Healthy cells are programmed to “know what to do and when to do it”. Cancerous cells do not have this programming and therefore grow and replicate out of control. They also serve no physiological function. These cells are now termed a neoplasm.
This neoplasmic mass often forms a clumping of cells known as a tumor.
Loss of Normal Growth Control
Cancer cell division
Fourth orlater mutation
Third mutation
Second mutation
First mutation
Uncontrolled growth
Cell Suicide or Apoptosis
Cell damage—no repair
Normal cell division
Example of Normal Growth
Cell migration
Dermis
Dividing cells in basal layer
Dead cells shed from
outer surface
Epidermis
The Beginning of Cancerous Growth
Underlying tissue
Invasion and Metastasis
3Cancer cells reinvade and grow at new location
1Cancer cells invade surrounding tissues and blood vessels
2Cancer cells are transported by the circulatory system to distant sites
Malignant versus Benign Tumors
Malignant (cancer) cells invade neighboring tissues, enter blood vessels, and metastasize to different sites
Time
Benign (not cancer) tumor cells grow only locally and cannot spread by invasion or metastasis

WASH AND SCRUB WITH
THEM
BRUSH THEM ON
OUR TEETH
PAINT THEM ON OUR NAILS
BATH WITH THEM
TRACK IN FROM OUR YARDS AND
STREETS
WE SPRAY THEM
HOME IS THE PLACE WHERE WE FEEL SAFEST, BUT IN MOST HOMES TOXINS ARE EVERYWHERE.
62 TOXIC CHEMICALS ARE IN THE AVERAGE HOME!
TOXIC CHEMICALS IN HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS ARE 3 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO CAUSE CANCER THAN OUTDOOR AIR.
‘RED ALERT’ Signs &
Symptoms
Cancer Detection and Diagnosis
Early Cancer May Not Have Any Symptoms
DIAGNOSIS
• Self examinations• Clinical examinations• Screening• Biopsy• X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, PET scans, and
ultrasound scans • Molecular diagnostic test
Cervical Cancer Screening
Abnormal Pap smear
Normal Pap smear
Breast Cancer Screening
Prostate and Ovarian Cancer Screening

THEN….
Probably You are ‘SAVING’ that time… For Tomorrow’s Sickness………!!
Dietary and Lifestyle Changes to Help Prevent Cancer
What Causes Cancer?
Non-modifiableGenetics Environmental
ModifiableLifestyle Diet
Our Focus!
Modifiable Risk Factors
– Lifestyle– Diet
Up to 1/3 of cancers can be avoided with a nutritious diet, maintenance of a healthy weight, and an active lifestyle
Optimize your diet!
1. Plant-based foods2. Limit red and processed meats3. Avoid grilling and frying foods4. Limit alcohol5. Avoid Tobacco6. Limit exposure to carcinogen
Plant-based DietsHigh in fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, etc.
Dietary fiberVitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidantsLow in total and saturated fat
Benefits of Dietary FiberSpeeds up digestionEliminates cancer compounds from the bodyChanges the bacteria in the gut to good bacteriaGetting enough fiber can reduce the risk of:
Colorectal cancerBreast cancerSome head/neck cancers
Whole GrainsLegumesVegetablesFruitsRecommendations:
Men: 32g per dayWomen: 25g per day(14g of dietary fiber per 1,000
calories daily)
Sources of Fiber
Benefits of Vitamins and Phytonutrients
• Act as antioxidants in the bodyAntioxidants:
Reduce cells that damage the bodyControl cell growth and death
These compounds may be protective against:
Breast cancerProstate cancerColon cancer
Bladder cancerLung cancerEsophageal cancer
Sources of Vitamins and Phytonutrients• Vitamin A: liver, eggs, dairy• ß-carotene: carrot, sweet-potato,
pumpkin, dark leafy green vegetables
• Vitamin E: vegetable oils, nuts, leafy green vegetables, sweet potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes
• Vitamin C: citrus fruits, broccoli, cabbage
• Recommendations:– 2 cups of fruit daily– 2.5 to 3 cups of vegetables daily
Benefits of Consuming a Low Diet
Low intakes of saturated fat may prevent inflammationInflammation is often associated with cancer development
Increased waist circumference and body weight (obesity) may increase the risk of developing:Colon cancerBreast cancerMultiple myeloma
Optimize your diet!
1. Plant-based foods2. Limit red and processed meats3. Avoid grilling and frying foods4. Limit alcohol
Limit Red and Processed MeatsSome processed
meats may contain carcinogens
Recommendations: Eat less than 18
ounces of red meat a week to reduce cancer risk
Red meats: Hamburgers, steak, lamb roast, pork chops
Processed meats: Smoked/cured/salted meat, meat with added preservatives such as hotdogs, bacon, salami, sausage
Optimize your diet!
1. Plant-based foods2. Limit red and processed meats3. Avoid grilling and frying foods4. Limit alcohol
Avoid Grilling and Frying Foods!
• Cancer causing compounds are produced when animal products are grilled or fried
• Chemicals formed when fat drips off the meat into flames
• Try to replace grilling and frying with baking, steaming, or boiling!
Optimize your diet!
1. Plant-based foods2. Limit red and processed meats3. Avoid grilling and frying foods4. Limit alcohol
Limit Alcohol Consumption• May damage DNA, increasing the risk of cancer• High alcohol consumption is associated with:
– Head and neck cancer– Mouth cancer– Pharynx/Larynx cancer
• Recommendations:• Men: 2 drinks per day• Women 1 drink per day

Industrial Pollution

Incidence of Most Cancers
Year199019701950
Protect Yourself From Excessive Sunlight
LIMIT RADIATION USE• Avoid CT Scans as they have been linked to progression of
cancer• Avoid EMF’s (electromagnetic field)– Electronics– Power Lines– Modems– appliances
MINERAL OIL (LIQUID PETROLEUM)IS A BY PRODUCT OF PETROLEUM AND IS KNOWN TO INCREASE THE RISK OF
CANCER.
*THESE CHEMICALS SLOWLY POISON US THROUGH REPEATED USE!!!
Avoid COSMETICS containing• Formaldehyde• Parabens• phthalates (endocrin
disrupting preservatives)
*100 unique chemicals in every day personal products .
Microwave Popcorn- Diaacetyl
Non-Organic Food- Pesticides
Canned Food- Bisphenol-A or BPA
Processed Meat- Numerous Chemicals and preservatives
Potato Chips- Articial Flavors & preservatives
Hydrogenated Oil
Sugars- High fructose corn syrup
Diet Food
Highly salted or fried or pickled food
Summary
•There are many causes of cancer•Some causes can be changed•Diet is a modifiable risk factor•With these small steps, you can help reduce your risk of cancer-causing agents!
