Prevention of Lung Cancer: Final Thoughts

Lung cancer prevention starts with learning about the risk factors for lung cancer. It then involves eliminating or minimizing any of those factors that you can control.
 
Although many lung cancer risk factors can be avoided, it is important to keep in mind that avoiding risk factors does not guarantee that you will not get lung cancer. Also, most people with a particular risk factor for cancer do not actually get the disease. Some people are more sensitive than others to factors that can cause lung cancer. Talk to your doctor about prevention methods that might be effective for you.
