ካንሰርን ለመከላከል መንገዶች

1. የቤተሰብዎን የጤና ታሪክ ይወቁ እና የሚመከሩ የካንሰር ምርመራዎችን ያድርጉ

የቤተሰብዎን የጤና ታሪክ ከጤና እንክብካቤ አቅራቢዎ ጋር ያካፍሉ እና የካንሰር ምርመራዎችን ይወያዩ። አንዳንድ ምርመራዎች ካንሰርን ቶሎ ለመለየት ይረዳሉ፣ ህክምናው ስኬታማ የመሆን እድሉ ከፍተኛ ሲሆን እና አንዳንዶቹ ደግሞ ካንሰር ከመከሰታቸው በፊት ቅድመ ካንሰርን ሊለዩ ይችላሉ። የማጣሪያ ምርመራ ህይወትን ለማዳን የተረጋገጠ ቢሆንም፣ የማጣሪያ መመሪያዎች “አንድ መጠን ሁሉንም የሚያሟላ” ላይሆን ይችላል።

2. Avoid or limit alcohol

Drinking alcohol is linked to several cancers, including breast, colorectal, esophageal, oral and liver cancers. To reduce your risk of cancer, it’s best to avoid alcohol completely. If you do choose to drink, limit your drinking to no more than one drink a day if you were assigned female at birth, and no more than two drinks a day if you were assigned male at birth. The more you drink, the greater your risk of cancer. Even small amounts of alcohol might increase your risk.

3. Don’t use tobacco

Tobacco use (including cigarettes, vapes/e-cigarettes, cigars, hookah, chewing tobacco and more) has been linked to many types of cancer, including lung, colorectal, breast, throat, cervical, bladder, mouth and esophageal cancers. It’s best to never start using tobacco, but if you do use tobacco products, it’s never too late to quit. According to the American Cancer Society, cigarette smoking rates reached a historic low of 9%-11% in the U.S. in 2025. However, smoking still accounts for about 30% of all cancer deaths. About 80%-90% of all lung cancers are related to cigarette smoking.

Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke are also at risk for lung and other types of cancer, as well as other diseases. E-cigarettes and vaping products can also cause serious health risks and can lead to addiction or serve as a gateway to other tobacco products. The Prevent Cancer Foundation stands firm in discouraging the use of ሁሉም tobacco products.

4. Protect your skin from the sun

የቆዳ ካንሰር በዩኤስ ውስጥ በጣም የተለመደ የካንሰር ምርመራ ሲሆን በጣም መከላከል ከሚቻሉ ካንሰሮች አንዱ ነው። ለፀሀይ አልትራቫዮሌት ጨረር መጋለጥ አብዛኛውን የቆዳ ካንሰር ያስከትላል። አመቱን ሙሉ በቂ የፀሐይ መከላከያ መጠቀምዎን እርግጠኛ ይሁኑ. የቤት ውስጥ ቆዳ ማድረቂያ አልጋዎችን በጭራሽ አይጠቀሙ።

5. Eat a plant-forward diet

Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. Limit red meat (such as beef, pork or lamb) and foods high in salt. Avoid processed meats (such as bacon, sausage, hot dogs or cold cuts) and drinks with added sugar.

The antioxidants in fruits and vegetables can help prevent DNA damage, and the phytochemicals and fiber have properties that can stop or slow the growth of cancer cells.

6. ጤናማ ክብደትን ይጠብቁ እና አካላዊ እንቅስቃሴ ያድርጉ

Obesity is linked to many cancers, including those of the endometrium, liver, kidney, pancreas, colon and breast (especially in post-menopausal women). Excess body fat promotes tumor growth throug hchronic, low-level inflammation, higher estrogen levels, and increased insulin resistance. Getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity at least five days a week can make a big difference in your general health and well-being and can help in maintaining a healthy weight. Make it a priority to move more and sit less. If you spend most of your time at work sitting at a desk, for example, find a way to get up and move around every hour. Physical activity is linked to a lower risk of colorectal, breast and endometrial cancers, and there is some evidence that also links it to reducing the risk of other cancers. Add exercise to your routine to reduce stress, increase energy, boost your immune system, maintain a healthy weight and reduce your risk of cancer.

7. Practice safer sex, such as limiting your number of partners and using protection/barrier (such as a condom) every time
