BREAST CANCER

Macmillan Cancer Support, UK?s leading charity foundation launched its ?Move More? campaign that urges cancer survivors to undertake recommended levels of physical activities to sustain themselves. A new study released by the charity notes that a little physical activity not only improves the chances of recovery for cancer patients but can also prevent a relapse in most cases.

The 'Move More' report, launched by the Macmillan Cancer Support, said breast cancer patients' danger of the disease recurring could be decreased by 40 percent if they took the recommended daily levels of physical exercise.

Falling breast cancer death rates have little to do with breast screening but are down to better treatment and health systems, scientists said on Friday, in a study likely to fuel a long-running row over the merits of mammograms.

Researchers found those who ate the most of the healthy plant components were 11 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than women who ate the least. Their findings don't prove fiber itself lowers cancer risk, however, because women who consume a lot of it might be healthier overall than those who don't.
