No way, a modern one-time CT scan is going to cause cancer. Please discuss these concerns with both your doctor and the radiologist.

A CT scan will not meaningfully raise your risk for cancer over your background risk from heredity and environmental issues. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
