"A healthy lifestyle is an encompassing way-of-being that includes multiple behaviors, some of which can be fun, fulfilling and even inspiring. Yes, activities like diet and exercise can be onerous, but the science tells us that, with persistence, what starts as onerous can transform into ingrained habits driven by internal motivation." Cooper SVP and PhillyVoice contributor Lou Bezich's "eyes wide open" approach to a healthy lifestyle goes beyond diet and exercise.

“Our focus on the NRF2 and KEAP1 genes is crucial in understanding how cancer cells evade treatment. The NRF2 and KEAP1 genes produce substances that shield cancer cells and make them resistant to treatment. By targeting these genes and identifying methods to permeate the cell barrier, we hope to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to kill the cancer cells.” -David P. Warshal, MD, FACOG, Head, Division of Gynecologic Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper.
