A member asked:

Had an adnominal/pelvis ct scan, a chest x-ray, and a lumbar spine x-ray all within a year. does this significantly increase my cancer risk??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The radiation exposure form these studies is not likely to measurably increase your risk of cancer. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
