DMH Cares about
A cancer diagnosis is a life-changing event,
but in many instances, cancer is more treat-
able than ever before. For decades, Decatur
Memorial Hospital has been at the forefront
of the global quest to eradicate cancer and to
eliminate the burden of cancer for the lives
that are touched by this disease.
Since its inception, the DMH Cancer Care
Institute has been a regional leader in cancer
diagnoses, treatment, and research, with a
focus on integrated cancer treatment and
patient-centered care.
The DMH Cancer Program is designated as
a Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer
Program, accredited by the American College
of Surgeons Commission on Cancer and the
American College of Radiology. It’s our com-
mitment to providing excellent cancer care
while maintaining the highest standard of
care with compassion. Accreditation ensures
that key elements of quality cancer care are
available to patients, giving them access to
services they need through the continuum of
care.
We strive to be a source of information to
help educate the people in our community
about the importance of early detection and
cancer screening. In an effort to help raise
awareness, this year’s annual report features
cancer prevention and screening information.
It’s our commitment as a health care provider
to build a healthy community – working
together to save lives.
Cancer prevention is action taken to
lower the chance of getting cancer:� Our goal of primary prevention is to keep
cancer from developing. This includes
maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoid-
ing exposure to known cancer –causing
substances. � Our goal of secondary cancer prevention is
to detect and treat precancerous (condi-
tions that may become cancer) or early,
asymptomatic cancer.
In 2014, approximately 1.6 million people
will be diagnosed with cancer in the United
States. In addition to the physical and emo-
tional distress, the high costs
of care can also be a burden
to patients, families and to
the public. By preventing cancer,
the number of new cases of cancer
is lowered thus reducing the burden
and decreasing the number of deaths
caused by cancer.
Every day in Illinois: � 67 people die from cancer; � 176 people are diagnosed with cancer; � 26 women are diagnosed with breast
cancer; � 21 men are diagnosed with prostate
cancer; � 17 people are diagnosed with colorectal
cancer � 25 people are diagnosed with lung cancer.
Choose a Healthy Lifestyle
Many cancer deaths could be prevented by
making healthy choices like not smoking,
staying at healthy weight, eating right, keep-
ing active, and getting recommended screen-
ings. Cancer is the second leading cause of
death among Americans.
Eat Healthy and Be Active
Get to and stay at a healthy weight through-
out your life. Knowing your body mass (BMI)
can tell you if your weight is right for some-
one your height. Reasonable body mass index
is less than 25. Physical activity can
lower the risk of several types of
cancer. � Adults: Get at
least 2.5 hours of
moderate or 1 hour
of vigorous activity
each week. � Children/teens:
Get at least 1 hour
of moderate or vig-
orous activity each
day, with vigorous
activity at least 3
days a week. Don’t
be a couch potato.
Get moving!
What you can do to eat healthy? � Read food labels. Low- or non-fat does not
always mean low calorie. Don’t supersize
your portions.� Eat smaller portions of high calorie foods.
Include vegetables, whole fruit and low-
calorie foods in your diet instead of high-
calorie foods such as french fries, potato
and chips, ice cream, doughnuts, and other
sweets. � Limit sugar-sweetened beverages, such as
soft drinks, sports drinks, and fruit drinks.� When eating out, take advantage of the
Heart-Smart Nutrition. Many restaurants
cater to suit health-conscious customers.
Stay Away from Tobacco
There are a variety of methods available to
quit-smoking:
Counseling/support, patches, gum, inhalers,
sprays, lozenges, medications. For more
information call the Illinois Tobacco
Quitline at 1-866-QUIT-YES or 1-866-784-
8937. Or visit www.quityes.org.
Cold Hard Facts about Dip:
Dip contains 28 cancer-causing agents.
Dip causes lip, cheek, tongue and other
types of mouth cancer. Dipping is addic-
tive. The nicotine in dip is a drug. To learn

aguideforquitting.htm
(continued)
Helpful Quitting Hints: Decide to quit.
List reasons to quit. Pick a quit date.
Get psyched for quitting. Cut back before
you quit.
Be Safe and Smart in the Sun: Staying in
the shade is one of the best ways to limit
your exposure. If you are going to be in the
sun, Slip! Slop! Slap! and Wrap!: Slip on
a shirt | Slop on sunscreen | Slap on a
hat | Wrap on sunglasses for the eyes and
skin around them
What’s the Best Sunscreen? Read the label:
Sunscreens with broad spectrum protection
(against both UVA and UVB rays) and with
sun protection factor (SPF) values of 30 or
higher are recommended.� What is Broad Spectrum Sunscreen? The
sunscreen can protect you from the
suns’ harmful ultraviolet A (UVA) and
ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. It helps to
prevent skin cancer, early skin aging
and sunburn. � What is SPF? SPF is the number that
tells you how much UVB light (the
burning rays) a sunscreen can filter out.
The American Academy of Dermatology
recommends using an SPF 30 or higher

Reduce your cancer risk� Stay away from tobacco� Maintain a healthy weight� Keep moving with regular physical activity� Eat healthy with plenty of fruits/vegetables� Limit alcohol (if you drink at all)� Protect your skin� Know yours/family’s health history� Get regular check-ups/cancer screenings
Screening Saves Lives! � Get regular check ups. � Screening tests can
help find cancer at
an early stage,
before symptoms
appear. When
abnormal tissue or
cancer is found early,
it may be easier to
treat or cure. By the
time symptoms
appear, the cancer
may have grown and
spread. This can
make the cancer
harder to treat or
cure. It is important
to remember that
when your doctor
suggests a screening
test, it does not
always mean he or she thinks you have
cancer. Screening tests are done when you
have no cancer symptoms.
