BRAIN TUMOR
PREVENTION |
|
|
The cause of primary brain tumors has
not been determined, so there is no known way to prevent them.
The best way to prevent secondary or metastatic brain tumors is to
eliminate such risk factors as:
Poor nutrition and a low-fiber diet; since these contribute to
development of intestinal cancers
Smoking, which causes lung cancer
Excessive use of alcohol, which is associated with liver cancer
Excessive exposure to the sun, which can cause melanoma (a deadly
form of skin cancer).
Monthly self-examinations of the breasts and testicles can detect
breast and testicular cancer at their earliest, most curable stages. |
