Breast Cancer UpdateA new study published in the August issue of Psycho-Oncology found that breast cancer survivors and their close relatives who believe certain health behaviors such as sedentary habits, alcohol consumption or bad diet contributed to their disease, are more likely to change those behaviors.
"Survivors take an active problem-solving approach to preventing a future
incidence of cancer; they develop their own understanding or representation of
the cancer and implement preventive behavioral strategies accordingly," the
authors Rabin and Pinto report to Reuters Health.
