Kindly let me know how to prevent having cancer

Unfortunately, there is no one good answer to this all-important question. All we can do as humans is to take all the necessary precautions about our health. Do not smoke at all, including e-cigs. There are harmful chemicals that have been linked to an increased risk of the occurrence of certain cancers.

What about alcohol intake? Current thinking is that alcohol can promote cancer formation. It is also very important to do all the screening tests that your doctor recommends based on your sex, age and current health status. Many patients complain about certain screening tests—for example, colonoscopy. But isn’t one day of inconvenience worth saving your life?
