Alcohol and tobacco are causative for many cancers including oral, laryngeal, esophageal, stomach, lung, Liver, bladder, kidney and breast. HepatitisB and C causing cirrhosis increase the risk of liver cancer. Fat, OCPills, Hormone Replacement Therapy, increased life time exposure to estrogen are risk factors for breast cancer. But cancers can occur without any cause. And cannot be prevented. However, there are means to detect them at early stage whereby they can be cured. For e.g. There is mammogram for breast cancer screening, PSA level for prostate cancer, Pap smear or HPV screening for cervical cancer, Visual inspection of oral cavity in tobacco chewers for mouth cancer, low dose CT Scan for heavy smokers to rule out lung cancer and Fecal occult blood test for colon cancer. Small percentage of cancers occurring in Breast, ovary, medullary cancer of thyroid, colon and stomach are known to be familial, which can be detected by genetic analysis and prophylactic surgeries are done if the risk of Developing cancers is very high. There are vaccines being developed for e.g the cervarix and gardasil which prevent HPV virus infection, which is a known cause of cervical cancer. Eating a healthy diet with lot of fibre, vegetables and fruits and avoiding junk and fried foods as well as leading a healthy life style with regular exercise and adequate sleep helps prevent most of the diseases, not only cancer. My advise would be to lead a healthy lifestyle and visit a cancer surgeon if you are worried about cancer, who would advise you in details about screening and weather you need to get it done.
