Moderation: It sounds cliche but exposures to things which cause cancer are usually a lifetime exposure issue as compared to a one time occurrence. This is why occupational (longterm) exposure to certain carcinogens or environmental agents (smoking) can increase the risk.

Reduce exposure: We wish as a community we had a better answer to this question. One thing we do know about leukemia is that its incidence is increased after exposure to radiation (e.g. Chernobyl) and some chemotherapy agents.
