Medical Conditions - Cancer Prevention

Cancer can occur due to various reasons, including tobacco habits, radiation, chemical exposure, sunlight, genetics, and infections like human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). A person can reduce their risk of cancer by limiting alcohol and tobacco use (including smokeless tobacco and cigarettes) and leading a healthy life. A well-balanced diet (rich in vitamins and minerals), vaccinations against HBV and HPV, and avoiding frequent and prolonged exposure to toxic radiations, chemicals, and sunlight can help prevent cancer.
