Professor Sonia Thomas, PharmD, BCOP, recently co-authored an evidence-based overview of how daily lifestyle habits can meaningfully reduce cancer risk. Together with fellow contributors—PCOM Doctor of Pharmacy students Jaelyn Benyard and Soloman Agyemang—she outlines how nutrition, physical activity, weight management, sleep quality, and avoidance of tobacco and excessive alcohol contribute to both longevity and cancer prevention.
The article emphasizes that although genetics influence individual risk, a substantial portion of cancer risk is modifiable. The authors encourage practical, realistic steps—small adjustments sustained over time—that can lead to measurable improvements in long-term health. Their work also highlights the role of supportive environments that make healthy choices more accessible and sustainable.
