Summary
Cancer survivors need ongoing support for quality of life and recurrence prevention. This review covers evidence-based strategies in nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation, and rehabilitation for long-term cancer care.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Public Health
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Increasing number of cancer long-term survivors require specialized care.
- Quality of life and recurrence prophylaxis are key concerns for survivors.
- Complementary and social medicine aspects are crucial in long-term cancer patient management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present scientifically proven knowledge on key factors influencing cancer survivorship.
- To highlight the importance of nutrition, sport, nicotine abuse cessation, and professional rehabilitation.
- To inform consultation strategies for long-term cancer care.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of scientifically proven knowledge.
- Focus on evidence-based aspects of nutrition, sport, nicotine abuse, and rehabilitation.
- Synthesis of information relevant to cancer recurrence prophylaxis and quality of life.
Main Results:
- Nutrition plays a significant role in the course of cancer diseases.
- Physical activity (sport) is important for cancer survivors' well-being.
- Nicotine abuse cessation and professional rehabilitation are vital for long-term outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Evidence-based lifestyle choices and rehabilitation are essential for cancer survivors.
- Integrated care addressing quality of life and recurrence prevention is necessary.
- Further research into complementary and social medicine in oncology is warranted.

Cancer Prevention
8.7K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
