As part of National Cancer Prevention Month in February, INTEGRIS Health is highlighting the critical importance of cancer prevention and early detection in the fight against cancer. Each year, thousands of lives are impacted by cancer, but many of these cases can be prevented or treated more effectively with early intervention.

The health care system is committed to providing the community with vital information, screenings and resources to reduce cancer risk.

Through a series of educational initiatives and partnerships, INTEGRIS Health aims to empower individuals to take proactive steps towards their health, emphasizing lifestyle changes, regular screenings and awareness of cancer warning signs.

Key Preventative Measures:

• Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Diet, exercise and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption are foundational to reducing cancer risks.
• Early Screening and Regular Check-ups: Screening tests can detect cancer early when it is most treatable. INTEGRIS Health offers screening services for various cancers, including breast, colorectal, prostate and cervical cancers.

“Prevention is the first line of defense against cancer,” said Irim Yasin, M.D., a board-certified physician in medical oncology and internal medicine at INTEGRIS Health Cancer Institute. “With regular screening and small, consistent changes to our lifestyle, we can reduce the incidence of many types of cancer and ultimately save lives.”
