Many people start the New Year with a resolution to get healthier by making better food choices in their diet, getting more physical activity, and quitting smoking. All of these are important steps that can improve your overall health and lower your risk of cancer. But there’s another step that people may not usually include in resolutions: Getting recommended cancer screenings and staying up-to-date with them. Age and family health history are factors that affect your risk for cancer. Paying attention to what screenings you need and when to get them is important for your journey to better health.



For cancer survivors, healthy behaviors can help lower the risk of having the cancer come back or getting a secondary cancer. Talk to Someone, a new virtual tool for cancer survivors, shares information and tips on four of the most important health concerns to help prevent getting cancer again: alcohol use, tobacco use, physical activity and healthy eating, and anxiety and depression. On February 4th, World Cancer Day, follow us on Twitter for highlights from a satellite media tour that will feature Dr. Lisa Richardson, Director of CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, sharing more about health concerns for cancer survivors and the Talk to Someone tool.
