Good question but: ..Too broad to answer fully. I would mention that not using tobacco products and adhering to a healthy lifestyle (good eating, exercise, etc.) should cut the risk of many cancers by more than 50-60%. As to how to beat it, make sure you get the risk and age appropriate screenings. You are still young but may need screenings now if you have family history.
