Regular screening and early detection: Routine check-ups and screenings can catch abnormal growths early. Vaccination: HPV vaccine can prevent cervical dysplasia caused by certain strains of the virus. Lifestyle changes: Quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and adopting a healthy diet. Sun protection: Using sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure to prevent actinic keratosis. Management of chronic conditions: Proper treatment of conditions like GERD to reduce the risk of Barrett's esophagus.
