There are lifestyle choices or changes we can make that can reduce the risk of developing cancer during our lifetime. To quit smoking and to be more active are two of these changes. Dr. Peter Selby (Chief of Medicine, Psychiatry, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) joins Dr. Evans to discuss strategies for smoking cessation and the resources and supports that are available to smokers in the community. Smoking cessation is also of benefit after a cancer diagnosis. Dr. Paul Oh (Medical Director, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Program, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute) reviews the role of physical activity and exercise in reducing cancer risk and the benefits as part of a cancer care program after a diagnosis has been made. 

The Cancer Assist Show is hosted by Dr. Bill Evans, MD, FRCP, Past President of the Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre at HHS. Brought to you by the Cancer Assistance Program – an organization lending support to cancer patients and families of those affected by cancer.
