An interesting story by way of Yahoo. Preliminary research indicates that healthy lifestyle changes can have benefical effects at a genetic level. Men with low risk prostate cancer underwent three months of major lifestyle changes, including improved diet, exercise, and stress management. Comparison of before and after prostate biopsies showed that:

The activity of disease-preventing genes increased while a number of disease-promoting genes, including those involved in prostate cancer and breast cancer, shut down, according to the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Pretty exciting news, I think.
