4 February is World Cancer Day

Sun 04/02/07 - "Today's children, tomorrow's world" is the title of
the International Union Against Cancer's (UICC) 2007 cancer prevention
campaign. The aim of the campaign is to increase awareness of what can
be done to prevent cancer and to change people's behaviour towards
cancer prevention.
Healthy habits established early in life have a significant impact in
later years. Behaviour patens are usually already formed before
adolescence.

A child's environment, his or her home life, school and community are
powerfully influences on his or her behaviour in later life.

Poor diet as a child can lead to cancer in later life
Factors such as passive smoking, over-exposure to the sun, lack of
physical exercise and poor diet can all contribute to increasing a
child's risk from cancer later on in life.

While parents have a key role play, experts at the UICC say that
governments' decisions about administering cancer vaccinations to
children at an early age can also play an important role in
determining how well kids will be protected against liver and cervix
cancer, once they have grown up .
The four main planks of this year's campaign
Dr Erwin Declerck of the Flemish Cancer Prevention League. Told VRT
radio that this year's campaign is concentrating on tackling four main
causes of cancer.

Parents should aviod smoking in the presence of their children
He stressed the importance of maintaining a smoke-free environment for
children at home, calling on parents that do smoke to go outside when
the want a cigarette.

An "energy-balanced lifestyle" with regular physical activity and a
low-fat diet is also important in order to avoid childhood obesity
that can lead to serious health problems, including cancer, later on
in life.

Dr Declerck also stressed the importance of protecting children from
the sun, in order to guard against skin cancer.

He also called on parents to find out the facts about the new GBV and
HPV anti-cancer vaccines.

Do not expect respect from that old monkey.
