Cancer Recurrence Prevention

Cancer Recurrence Prevention in Scottsdale

One of my favorite things to do as an integrative physician is to help people minimize their risk of cancer recurrence.  Preventing recurrence is an area of medicine that many patients know too little about. Research now shows that specific lifestyle habits can significantly reduce the chance of cancer from returning.  

 

Besides using lifestyle medicine such specific dietary recommendations, promoting beneficial mental and emotional health, adequate physical activity, and encouraging avoidance in the case of tobacco or excessive alcohol use, much more can be done. 

In addition to minimizing risk, it is also important to be vigilant about testing for recurrence.  Traditionally, imaging studies and laboratory testing are used to monitor for recurrence.  Currently, non-invasive testing methods are available that allow for the detection of cancer at a molecular level, often before imaging studies or traditional lab tests can detect a problem.   As with any health issue, the sooner it is detected and treated, the better. 

Examining Blood Sample

Uncover Specific Risk Factors

Through an in-depth analysis of a person’s family and personal medical history, lifestyle habits from before and after their cancer diagnosis, as well as specific laboratory testing it is now possible to uncover specific risk factors that could contribute to a recurrence.  Advances in laboratory testing now allow the detection of individualized risks.  Armed with this information an anti-cancer plan can be devised and implemented to minimize and eliminate excess risk.
