2. Cancer:
Number 1 Killer Disease in Modern Society
Major causes of death in Singapore
About 1 in 3
(31%)
Deaths is from Cancer

5. Our Immunity decline : As we age
Diseases of
aging
Incidents increase
exponentially with
age
6. Cancer : A Disease of aging
incidents increase exponentially with age
Colorectal Cancer
7. Cancer – Disease of aging
incidents increase exponentially with age
Lung Cancer

Liver Cancer
9. Recommendation 1:
As you get older
Get Screened More Regularly
To discover the cancer early
Screening should include:
Skin
Mouth
Colon
Rectum
Prostate
Testes
Cervix
Breast
12. Recommendation 2:
Know Your Personal & Family History
Take preventive measure to avoid Hereditary Cancers
Common hereditary cancers:
Breast cancer
Ovarian cancer
Colorectal cancer
Prostate cancer
Genetic testing:
Breast (BRCA1 & 2)
Ovarian (BRCA1 & 2)
Colorectal (MLH1 & MSH2)
Prostate (6 potential genes)
13. Cancer is A Largely Avoidable Disease
Up to 4/5 (90%) of cancer
may be prevented through
environment & lifestyle
modifications
1/3 (33%) of these cancer
occurrences can be
minimized via dietary
modifications and/or
enhancement
14. Recommendation 3:
Avoid Tobacco &
Alcohol
Cancers that
have been linked
to alcohol and
smoking
Increase cancer risk if exceeded:
2 drinks a day for man
1 drink a day for woman
1 drink a day if about 65 yrs old
15. Obesity Increases Cancer Risks
Type of Cancer Exercise Reduction of Proportion of incidence
Cancer risks1 attributed to Obesity2
Colon Cancer 30-40% 11%
Breast Cancer 20-80% 9%
Endometrial Cancer 20-40% 39%
Lung Cancer 20% -
Kidney Cancer NA 25%
Esophageal Cancer NA 37%
Gall Bladder Cancer NA 24%

18. Recommendation 4:
Stay Active &
Maintain a Healthy
Weight
Cancers
that linked
to obesity
Physically active for 30 min
or more on most days of
the week
Low-key activities
Brisk walking
Swimming
Tai Chi
Ballroom dancing
21. Recommendation 5: Get Immunized
Hepatitis B
Liver cancer
Human papillomavirus (HPV)
Cervical cancer
Also cancers of anus, penis,
throat, vulva & vagina
22. Recommendation 6:
Avoid Behaviors that can lead to infections
Viruses transmitted sexually or by
sharing contaminated needles:
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
• Cervical cancer, cancers of anus, penis, throat, vulva &
vagina
HIV (AIDS)
• Anal cancer, cervical cancer, liver cancer & lymphoma etc
Hepatitis B and C
• Liver cancer
24. Recommendation 7:
Avoid Environmental Risks
Known carcinogens
Gasoline
Diesel exhaust
Arsenic
Vinyl chloride
Nickel chromates
Coal products
Mustard gas
Chloromethyl ethers
Radiation
Mobile phone?!?!
•0 min •15 min
25. Recommendation 8:
Protect Yourself from Sun
Skin cancer is one of most common & preventable kinds of cancer
Nearly all skin cancer is treatable if detect early
Avoid peak radiation hrs (10 am – 2 pm)
Stay in the shade; Cover exposed areas
Don’t skimp on sunscreen
SPF30 - prevents skin reddening 30 times longer than
unprotected skin
Apply every 2 hrs
26. 35% Cancer
deaths
linked to
diet

27. Recommendation 9:
Keep A Healthy Diet
The general dietary recommendations:
Do not Over Eat (Caloric restriction /
periodic fasting)
Rich in fruits and vegetables (Low glycemic
load), low in sugar / refined carbohydrates
Low intake of saturated fats, cholesterol &
trans fats
Low in red meat, processed meat, rich in
soy & fish
Cut back on salt & MSG
Avoid alcohol
28. Additional Recommendation :
Through Dietary Supplementation
• Improve Digestion with Probiotics & Food Enzymes
• Take Chemopreventive supplementation
Modern Approach
Through
Chemoprevention
The use of natural or synthetic
substances to reduce risk of
developing cancer
30. Cancer Chemoprevention Strategies
Major categories of
chemopreventive agents:
Anti-toxin
Detoxification, strengthen liver functions
Anti-infection
Strengthen immune systems
Anti-oxidant
Protect against free radical attack
Anti-cancer
Anti cell promotion
Anti cell proliferation
Activate programmed cell death
Multi-pronged approach
is recommended

32. Mushrooms (Fungus):
source of potent natural based
Chemopreventive Agents
• Mushrooms are prebiotic
• They contain Host Defence Potentiators compounds which can have immune system
enhancement properties
• They are anti tumor agents
• Currently used as adjuncts to cancer treatments in Japan, Russia, China, & U.S.A.
33. Medicinal mushrooms
Many Pharmaceuticals are derived
from the Fungus Kingdom:
• Penicillin,
• Ciclosporin, Grifola frondosa
• Griseofulvin,
Trametes versicolor
• Cephalosporin,
• Ergometrine,
• Statins
Antrodia camphorata
