Cancer is a disease that develops when there is uncontrollable cell growth that forms tumors. Benign tumors are not cancerous, but malignant tumors do spread through the body. Proven causes for cancer are complicated, but contributing factors like smoking, diet, radiation, obesity have been identified to increase risk. There are lifestyle and dietary factors that help decrease the chance of cancer, such as not smoking, keeping weight at healthy range, exercising, staying out of the sun, eating a lot of vegetables, fruits and whole grains instead of meats and refined carbohydrates.
Preventative and treatment cancer medications include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs, which can help lower the chance of colorectal cancer. Aspirin, Ibuprofen and Naproxen are common NSAIDs that are available on Canada Drug Pharmacy. Daily use of Tamoxifen or Raloxifene has been found to bring down the risk of breast cancer in women who are high risk.
