    nThe risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus andbladder is cut in half. nFemale smokers risk of cervical cancer falls to that of anon-smoker.After ten years of quitting:7nThe risk of dying from lung cancer drops by half. The risk of cancer of the larynx and pancreas decreases.

    While quitting tobacco may be difficult, it is not impossible.The state of Florida offers residents access to FREE quitresources that can aid in making a quit plan and seeing itthrough. Floridians are encouraged to make a positivechoice for their future and join former smokers in quitting,as they now outnumber the amount of current smokers inthe state.8

    Habits:American Institute

    for Cancer Research

    Cancers like most chronic diseases have long been moving from a poorprognosis to managed care and increased longevity by adopting healthybehaviors. Health science has shown that changing certain habits candramatically improve a cancer survivors recovery after diagnosis and treatment.Numerous studies are reporting on how behaviors typically associated withpreventing cancer have also shown to be effective at increasing survival rates.For example, yoga was shown to improve breast cancer recovery and walkingregularly improved colorectal cancer survival rates. The American Institute forCancer Research (AICR) helps draw a connection between well-known healthhabits for cancer prevention and improved survivorship after diagnosis. TheNational Cancer Institute highlights the importance of tobacco cessation, as itsuse is linked to poor treatment response and increased risk for secondmalignancy in patients with a range of cancers including head and neck,leukemia, prostate and lung.

    In contrast to a need for healthy behaviors in cancer survivors, a study published in the journalCancer found cancer survivors less likely to eat healthfully compared to the general population.The study included the diets of 1,500 adult cancer survivors and 3,000 non-cancer survivors andfound recommended foods, such as vegetables and whole grains, were eaten less in the cancersurvivor group. NCIs summary report also identified challenges with tobacco cessation in cancersurvivors despite high quit attempt rates.

    To learn more about how to improve these trends, visit the websites of partners that havestepped up to support adoption of healthy behaviors in cancer survivors:American Cancer Societyprovides resources for cancer survivors on nutrition and staying active. American American Society of Clinical Oncologyprovides recommendations for cancersurvivors on healthy living.

    LIVESTRONG at the YMCAoffers a no cost 12 week fitness program for cancer survivors with aphysicians clearance.

    National National Cancer Survivorship Resource Centerdeveloped a free learning module forprimary care providers on empowering survivors to live well (continuing education unitsavailable).
