Back-to-School Tips on Cancer Prevention

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has a brochure:
M. D. Anderson’s Road Map to Cancer Prevention – that anyone can get for free by visiting the website or calling The M. D. Anderson Information Line at 1-800-392-1611.

Most importantly to students who are going back to school, healthy lifestyle changes are necessary in order to prevent cancer:

• avoiding tobacco
• limiting time in the sun
• eating five servings daily of fruit and vegetables
• limiting alcohol consumption
• exercising regularly
• knowing your family’s history of disease

All of the above are a reminder to (especially) college students who most of the time does the exact opposite.

A little bit old but definitely applicable at any time, read all about it at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
