Cancer prevention in The Park Club MediSpa

Preventing cancer

Did you realise that the 4th of February was the World Cancer Day?
Have you given a thought to this issue: your risks and preventing cancer?
Let me write to you briefly on how the MediSpa can help you in this regard.
When I say cancer prevention I mean two separate things.

One is the so called primary prevention that is how to live to prevent cancer.

For this we should know what lifestyle factors cause cancer then we can change (if needed) to prevent them.


Thus, third of all cancer could be prevented by making changes to diet, weight and physical activity.

Being a member or joining The Park Club you can reduce your cancer risk immensely. Here we advocate the Mediterranean diet (’diaita’ from Greek originally means ’way of life’ so I use this word in this meaning from now on) that is high in fibre, low in saturated fat (red meat), sugar and salt, rich in monosaturated fat (omega 3 and 9 from fish and olive oil), antioxidants, phytochemicals and minerals, complemented with high intensity physical exercise (in our gym or classes).

This is the way of life we believe the best for us and for our members.

What is secondary prevention?

It means cancer screening, check-ups when you don’t have any problems or symptoms. Such screening is important to detect a changing mole, blood in your stool, painless lump in your breast or testicles or anywhere else that if undetected can be deadly.

The key to successful cancer cure is early detection and early removal. Once the cancer has spread we are in a very difficult situation both the doctor and the patient.

This is where the MediSpa offers state of the art possibilities for check-ups and early cancer detection*.

Mole clinic:

Our resident dermatologist Dr Bela is an expert of moles and skin cancer. He uses his own leading methodology for mole check and skin cancer screening: making a mole map and compare the moles from time to time to pick up early signs of skin cancer.

Here are a few examples of lives saved among our testimonials.

Blood tests:

We have a wide selection of blood tests available in the MediSpa. Here I focus only the cancer related ones.

You can have the following cancer screening blood test in the MediSpa:

- Ovarian tumour early detection
- Breast Cancer Predictive
- Prostate Profile
- Lung cancer early detection
- Colorectal cancer early detection


For more information on these tests you can read on here.

“Do Something”

This is the name of the campaign launched by the American Institute for Cancer Research which is summarized as, "Eat well, move more, stay lean," and adds, almost as an afterthought "and of course, don't smoke."

Here in The Park Club and the MediSpa you can have all the help and support you need, you should just ask for it. So “Do Something” and pop in the MediSpa for more information or have any of the preventative tests.

*Please note that we cannot deal with every type of cancer.
