Can I Prevent Cancer?
While there's no guarantee a lifestyle change will prevent cancer, you can minimize your risk factors.
For example, using sun protection can minimize the risk of skin cancer. Eating a high-fiber diet may help prevent colon and breast cancer. Reduce your alcohol and tobacco intake and you'll also reduce the chances of getting several other types of cancer.
Regular health check-ups also can help catch cancers at an early stage -- when they can still be successfully treated.
