Our goals are enhancing communication between all medical providers and clinics, streamlining processes, providing quality cost-effective care, and improving health outcomes.

We understand you have a choice when deciding where you receive medical care.

The link between cancer and obesity

besity is a growing national problem and the list of related health issues is growing along with it.

In addition to diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and other chronic diseases, obesity also poses an increased risk of cancer. Cancers of the esophagus, breast, endometrium, colon and rectum, kidney, pancreas, thyroid, gallbladder and other cancer types are present at higher rates in obese patients.

The link between cancer and obesity is believed to be a result of the many metabolic and hormonal shifts that occur with obesity.

These changes can launch, grow and reproduce cancer cells and tumors, even causing tumors to grow elsewhere in the body.

These issues are compounded in a body already struggling with the increased demands of weight.

The good news is that weight loss has a direct and positive effect on cancer and other health problems. Observational studies have shown a decreased risk in cancers among those who lose weight.

When bariatric surgery is combined with lifestyle changes in obese patients, they generally lose 30 percent of their body weight compared to only 7 to 10 percent through dieting strategies alone. Those who have bariatric surgery appear to lower their cancer risk as they reduce their size.

To attain a healthy weight, the American *OTUJUVUF PG $BODFS 3FTFBSDI SFDPNNFOET filling two-thirds of your dinner plate with

nuts, seeds, beans, fruits and vegetables plus whole grains. These cancer-fighting foods will benefit the entire family, while creating a healthy routine for those who need to lose weight. Good eating habits, physical activity and reduced stress lead to healthier lifestyles for all, and in obese patients, such a lifestyle can be a life-saver.

Exercise is also important and it doesn’t have to be time-consuming or exhausting.

Walking is the simplest and most natural form of exercise. Walking five days a week for 30 minutes at a time can deliver countless benefits to your health.

BENEFITS OF CANCER GENETIC TESTING

A BETTER WAY TO FIGHT CANCER.

enetic testing is a wonderful tool for physicians. It not only helps to get a handle on the patient and their particular cancer, or to help mitigate the risk for a person who doesn’t have cancer, but it also helps to gain

a whole new patient – the whole family. Genetic testing provides the ability to not just help one person, but also their daughter, brother, sister and cousin.

So, it’s very empowering for the physician. Genetic testing also has some practical value. For instance, patients who have a BRCA mutation actually have a better chance of survival for breast and ovarian cancer.

So it’s not always a bad thing when we tell the patient, “Oh, you have a BRCA mutation,” because their prognosis actually gets better as these cancers respond better to regular chemotherapy.

There’s also new drugs like PARP (poly ADP ribose polymerase) inhibitors

At Arizona Oncology, we know each cancer is unique.

Together with The US Oncology Network, we bring the expertise of nearly 1,000 physicians nationwide to the delivery of our patients’ care. As the largest group of medical professionals in Arizona dedicated exclusively to cancer, Arizona Oncology touches the lives of more cancer patients than any other provider in the state. We believe together is a better way to fight.

that work specifically against the BRCA mutation. We have a whole new class of drugs that work for patients that have the BRCA mutation that we wouldn’t have for other patients. Genetic testing is very useful for treating the patient, and mitigating risk for patients and their family members. So it’s a very powerful tool.
