As we honor National Cancer Prevention Month, it is important to know the factors that can contribute to the development of cancer. Lifestyle choices, environmental influences, genetics, and other variables can increase your risk of cancer. Understanding risk factors is critical to help prevent cancer.
Lifestyle Choices and Environmental Factors
Lifestyle choices such as tobacco use, poor diet, physical inactivity, and exposure to the sun can significantly influence your cancer risk. Understanding the impact of these factors empowers individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles and minimize their cancer risk.
Genetic Predisposition
Genetics plays a pivotal role in certain types of cancer. By recognizing hereditary cancer patterns and understanding genetic risk factors, patients can have discussions with their healthcare providers and consider genetic testing when appropriate.
