  • Don’t smoke, eat good food, exercise regularly, stop to breathe properly when facing stress. Don’t drink excessively.
    Wear sunscreen and avoid excess exposure to high UV. Don’t bother with the tanning salon!
    Doing your best to take care of your mind and body will at least reduce your chances of getting cancer.
    And if you do get cancer, you’ll be in better condition to fight it.

    By studying the basic biology at more detailed levels (molecular, even quantum) the more likely we are to discover common patterns of origin that can lead to more generally applicable treatments for broader sets of cancer types.

    Some pollutants could add to damage caused by other environmental factors. However, not everyone would be as likely to develop cancer from that set of environmental factors. Because there could be many combinations of environmental and genetic factors, enumerating all sets is impossible. We will end up tracking the most common sets of factors first, only tracking other sets once the common sets are known and have treatments. We can’t catch them all unfortunately.
