Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cancer is a devastating disease. It results in significant physical and mental suffering and gravely affects the financial status of the affected individuals and their families. Practicing healthy lifestyles can prevent many cancers and greatly ameliorate several adverse effects of ten imparted by the disease and its treatment. Healthy lifestyles can also improve the patients’ quality of life and significantly improve outcomes. This brief review looks at the published data on the persuasive benefits of healthy lifestyles on cancer.
