Welcome to ONCOSCREEN’S Stakeholder Spotlight Miniseries for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
This week we focus on the importance of preventative lifestyle measures when it comes to improving treatment outcomes for colorectal cancer. While screening is essential for early detection, lifestyle choices also play an important role in colorectal cancer prevention. Maintaining healthy habits can significantly reduce the risk of developing the disease.
“Lifestyle factors such as physical activity, balanced nutrition, and maintaining a healthy weight can contribute to reducing the risk of colorectal cancer. Prevention and regular screening should always go hand in hand,”
says Prof. Dainius Pavalkis, Surgeon and Proctologist at Lithuanian University of Health Sciences.
CRC Awareness Month highlights the importance of prevention, early detection, and public awareness in reducing colorectal cancer across Europe.
