Is there a big list of things a human can do, to reduce/minimize their risk of getting cancer? "dont smoke" is obvious but a lot of chemicals/behaviors are less well understood in terms of cancer risk.
- No smoking, or chewing tobacco
- Don't drink excessively
- Stay at a good weight
- Use sunblock
- Eat healthy (notably, reduce consumption of red meats)
- Get your recommended cancer screenings (mammograms, colonoscopies, prostate exams, etc)
Other tips for specific populations:
- If you are or were a heavy smoker, talk with your doctor about a lung cancer screening
- Vaccinate children against HPV
- Some experts recommend Hepatitis C screening for Baby Boomers
