What are ways to keep myself from getting cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do your best: There is no sure shot way to keep cancer away but as i recall, two thirds of cancer deaths can be prevented by avoiding tobacco products, eating well, exercising, and avoiding high-risk lifestyles. Also, you should get age and risk appropriate screening tests and regular exams by your doc. If you have a strong family history, you may need to visit a specialist in this field. Best to you.
