Abstract B13: Adherence to cancer-specific prevention recommendations reduces risk of cancer in participants in Alberta's Tomorrow Project, Alberta, Canada

Conclusions: Adherence to cancer-specific prevention recommendations may reduce the risk of developing cancer. The adherence composite score constructed in this study may serve as a surrogate lifestyle indictor for predicting those at high risk of developing cancer. Future work should focus on assessing contribution of each component of the overall risk reduction within the total score.Disclosure: This study was supported by Alberta Cancer Foundation, the Alberta Cancer Prevention Legacy Fund, and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer.Citation Format: Jian-Yi Xu, Jennifer E Vena, Heather K Whelan, Paula J Robson.
