Heathy lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is probably the best way you can control your risk for developing cancer. That means keep a bmi 25 or under, don't smoke, exercise, eat a healthy diet (ie plenty of fresh organic fruits and vegetables), avoiding tanning, use sun screen if you are fair skinned.

Agree with Dr. V: In addition, drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. Get HPV and other vaccines.
