                    [Summary] => 
Everyone can reduce their risk of developing cancer by making the proper lifestyle choices and keeping track of what is important in a person’s life. While known factors, such as family history and environmental conditions, are beyond one’s control, it is estimated that 80 percent of all cancer types could be prevented through diet, exercise and other healthy lifestyle choices.

                    [Summary] => Lung cancer is fast becoming the leading killer of Filipino women because of the growing popularity of smoking among them, health experts said yesterday.


Dr. George Eufemio, president of the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS), said the lungs are now the third leading cancer site for women based on the "2005 Philippine Cancer Facts and Estimates."


He noted that in a similar survey conducted in 1998, lung cancer was the 10th leading cause of death among Filipino women.

                    [Summary] => Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit said lack of awareness among patients, physicians and pharmacists of appropriate cancer control programs mainly explains why some 200,000 Filipino cancer patients, every year, unnecessarily suffer from pain.


Dayrit said physicians, particularly cancer specialists, are still uncomfortable with the use of opiods such as morphine in the management of cancer pain although they believe these drugs are effective.


Most cancer patients, on the other hand, harbor unfounded fears of pain and the use of opiods to alleviate their suffering.
