cancer prevention

Stopping malignant growth

Cancer prevention encompasses strategies to reduce the risk of developing cancer.

These include lifestyle choices—not smoking, limiting alcohol, maintaining healthy weight, exercising, avoiding excessive sun exposure—along with medical interventions like vaccines (HPV, hepatitis B) and screening tests that catch precancerous conditions.

The doctor emphasized cancer prevention through diet and regular checkups.
