Demographics
Are you white? Are you female? Are you over 50? Everyone's baseline risk for certain cancers change based on sex, age and ethnicity. And the factors that increase or decrease your risk might surprise you!
Diet
Do you drink a lot of milk? A fan of processed meats? Love leafy vegetables? Your diet can have a big impact on your cancer risk. In fact, there are certain foods that, if consumed regularly, can significantly increase or reduce your cancer risk.
Exercise and fitness
We all know that our weight and physical activity can have an impact on cancer incidence, but do you know how this changes with age and type of activity?
Job
Have you spent a lot of time around rubber? Work in forestry? Are you a firefighter? Ever been around asbestos or pesticides? There are many jobs that expose us to different chemicals which can alter our risk of specific cancers.
Lifestyle
Are you a party animal? Do you smoke? Have you taken certain drugs? Are you a big city or small city girl? Our lifestyle choices can have an impact on our cancer risk.
Women's health
Did you get your period early in life? How many children have you had and how did you give birth? How long were you on the pill or take HRT? Women face unique cancer challenges that are influenced by many factors.
Men's Health
When was your last PSA test? What score did you have? While men are more likely to get cancer as a result of lifestyle factors, several things can impact their prostate cancer risk.
Health history
Ever had mono? Do you have diabetes? Had an organ transplant? There are lots of medical conditions that can affect your risk of getting cancer.
Cancer history
While cancer is the result of random genetic mutations, a previous cancer diagnosis raises your risk of recurrence or other cancers if you have a genetic susceptibility.
Your symptoms
Sensitive nipples? Nighttime urination? Frequent belching? Many early cancer symptoms are generic, but there are some you should watch for in particular.
Family history
Certain genetic mutations that run in families can raise your cancer risk. Your family cancer history is an important determinant of your individual risk.
Screening history
Many cancers grow slowly, which is why routine screening is often only conducted every few years. Whether or not you have done your recommended screening (or a Prenuvo scan) impacts your risk of cancer today.
What others are saying about the free report
-
I found the survey to be comprehensive and insightful. I learned I had several risk factors related to having children I wasn't aware of.
-
It clearly took a lot of work to put together and I think everyone should know how their lifestyle affects their cancer risk.
-
I was actually surprised by the impact that exercise, alcohol and diet have on the risk of lots of cancers.
-
It was good to have the various impacts quantified and with backup science. I don't know why the cancer society doesn't provide something like this.
-
I have worked in the forestry industry most of my life. While it has made me fit (+) it also exposed me to chemicals that raise my kidney cancer risk (-).
-
I was encouraged to visit the doctor after some of the symptoms I was feeling were correlated with liver and colon cancer. You can never be too careful.
-
What did I learn? Mainly that its hard to live life without affecting your risk one way or the other. But I was glad I did the survey.
-
As a former smoker, I'm going to investigate getting a preventative scan, not just for lung cancer but for the many cancers for which I have higher risk.
-
I thought the survey was really good and worth the time to answer a few questions. It confirmed some things and I learned some new things to moderate in my life.
