CAN LUNG CANCER BE PREVENTED ?


Not all lung cancers can be prevented. But there are things you can do that might lower your risk, such as changing the risk factors that you can control.

  • Stay away from tobacco :- The best way to reduce your risk of lung cancer is not to smoke and to avoid breathing in other people’s smoke.

    If you stop smoking before a cancer develops, your damaged lung tissue gradually starts to repair itself. No matter what your age or how long you’ve smoked, quitting may lower your risk of lung cancer and help you live longer.

    Limiting your exposure to secondhand smoke might also help lower your risk of lung cancer, as well as some other cancers.

  • Avoid radon
    Radon is an important cause of lung cancer. You can reduce your exposure to radon by having your home tested and treated, if needed.

  • Avoid or limit exposure to cancer-causing chemicalsAvoiding exposure to known cancer-causing chemicals, in the workplace and elsewhere, may also be helpful. When people work where these exposures are common, they should be kept to a minimum.

  • Eat a healthy diet
    A  healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables may also help reduce your risk of lung cancer. Some evidence suggests that a diet high in fruits and vegetables may help protect against lung cancer in both smokers and non-smokers. But any positive effect of fruits and vegetables on lung cancer risk would be much less than the increased risk from smoking.

GENERIC ERLOTINIB - MEDICINE USED IN TREATMENT OF LUNG CANCER

Erlotinib is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth of cancer cells and slows their spread in the body.

Erlotinib is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer or pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).

Erlotinib is usually given after other cancer medicines have been tried without success.

Erlotinib may also be used for other purposes, ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Causes, Risk Factors, and Prevention   Learn about the risk factors for prostate cancer Prostate Cancer Risk Factors A risk factor is anything that affects your chance of getting a disease such as cancer. Different cancers have different risk factors. Some risk factors, like smoking, can be changed. Others, like a person’s age or family history, can’t be changed. But having a risk factor, or even several, does not mean that you will get the disease. Many people with one or more risk factors never get cancer, while others who get cancer may have had few or no known risk factors. Age Prostate cancer is rare in men younger than 40, but the chance of having prostate cancer rises rapidly after age 50. About 6 in 10 cases of prostate cancer are found in men older than 65.
