While it is challenging to completely prevent DNA degradation in cancer, certain strategies can mitigate its effects:
Antioxidants: Consuming antioxidants can reduce oxidative stress and protect DNA from damage. Anti-inflammatory agents: These drugs can decrease chronic inflammation, thereby reducing DNA degradation. DNA repair enhancers: Compounds that enhance DNA repair mechanisms can help maintain genomic integrity. Lifestyle changes: Avoiding exposure to known carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke and excessive radiation, can reduce the risk of DNA degradation.
