American
Cancer Society Awareness for April
NATIONAL
CANCER CONTROL MONTH, 2009
- - - - - - -
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
We have achieved remarkable progress in the fight against cancer. Miracles
in medical research have helped us understand how to prevent, detect, and treat
cancer more effectively, and Americans are now more aware of how to protect
themselves from this disease.
Despite this progress, cancer continues to kill more Americans than any other
malady but heart disease. Marking National Cancer Control Month, we recommit to
the battle against cancer and emphasize the promise of medical research and the
healthy steps Americans can take to protect themselves.
As researchers work daily to better understand this disease, Americans can
take steps to decrease their risk of developing cancer. Individuals of all ages
should seek regular and appropriate check-ups. These check-ups should include
screening, such as mammograms, the Pap test, and tests for colorectal cancer,
all of which can help detect cancer during its early stages.
Healthful personal habits can also reduce the risk of cancer. Smoking accounts
for thousands of cancer deaths every year, and quitting -- even after many
years -- can greatly reduce the risk of cancer. Physical inactivity and obesity
may cause a substantial proportion of colon, breast, endometrial, kidney, and
esophageal cancers in the United States, so maintaining physical activity and a
healthful diet can help prevent cancer, among other diseases. Finally, moderating
alcohol intake and sun exposure can help protect Americans.
