Why Prevention?

According to the World Cancer Report released in Feb 2020, one in 10 Indians will develop cancer in their lifetime. However, 30-50% of all cancer can be prevented. Prevention offers the most cost-effective long-term strategy for the control of cancer.

Preventive Measures Work

Cancer prevention is mostly identified with community campaigns to promote smoking avoidance, avoiding obesity or vaccinating against cancer-causing viruses. Studies have shown that such preventive interventions work. For example, it has been estimated that between 1975 and 2000, tobacco control programs implemented in the United States saved nearly 800,000 lives. However, cancer prevention involves a far greater range of initiatives than avoiding exposure to known carcinogens.

Evidence-based Approaches For Prevention Of Cancer & Other Lifestyle Diseases

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI)

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a relatively new field of study that looks at the interactions between the central nervous system (CNS) and the immune system. A 2013 study of the relationship between Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) and cancer, found that stress adversely affects the immune system, which makes the body more susceptible to diseases such as cancer

Stress-Immunity-Illness Axis

Derived from PNI, Stress-Immunity-Illness Axis establishes that stress compromises immunity leading to illness. Stressors can be Physical (healthy or unhealthy habits), Emotional (positive or negative feelings), Mental (enabling or disabling thoughts), Relational (supportive or toxic relationships) and Spiritual (meaning and purpose)
