How can you prevent kidney cancer?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
You can't: There is no way to prevent kidney cancer. There are some risk factors for kidney cancer, but even if one does not have any risk factors, it can still develop, even if you live a healthy lifestyle. There is a sporadic form of kidney cancer that can occur even without any risk factors or family history of cancers.

Renal cancer: Not really. There are no dietary, behavioral or lifestyle factors known to influence kidney cancer.
