Decoding Cancer is a program designed to help high school students learn the biology of Cancer.

Now it is time to see how far we have come. Behavioral choices can greatly reduce the risk of many cancers, making prevention a key focus of the report.

Where possible, the Cancer Trends Progress Report shows changes in these data over time (trends).

The economic burden of cancer also is taking its toll. CA Cancer J Clin 56:323–353, Emaus A, Thune I (2011) Physical activity and lung cancer prevention. Data in the Cancer Trends Progress Report come from a variety of sources with different collection techniques and reporting times, so time periods for the data may vary by section. In this chapter, we introduce the topic of PA and cancer, provide an overview of the content and organization of this volume, review some of the methodological challenges in this field, summarize the key conclusions of each chapter, and offer some directions for future research.

The report indicates whether trends are "rising", "falling", or "stable" using standard definitions and tests of statistical significance (see Methodology for Categorizing Trends). While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they can also have other causes. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. The nation's investment in cancer research is making a difference. In: Courneya KS, Friedenreich CM (eds) Physical activity and cancer: Recent results in cancer research, vol 186.

Since the signing of the National Cancer Act in 1971, our country has vigorously fought the devastating effects of cancer. The Cancer Trends Progress Report is designed to help the nation review past efforts and plan future ones. Overall, the research to date suggests that PA reduces the risk of developing some cancers, helps cancer survivors cope with and recover from treatments, improves the long-term health of cancer survivors, and possibly even reduces the risk of recurrence and extends survival in some cancer survivor groups.

The report is based on the most recent data at the time of analysis from the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, other federal agencies, professional groups, and cancer res… In selecting measures that would be meaningful to readers of this report, we relied largely on long-term national - rather than state or local - data collection efforts. 2006), the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research guidelines for cancer prevention (WCRF 2007), the Australian Association of Exercise and Sport Science’s exercise guidelines for cancer survivors (Hayes et al.
