While not all GI cancers can be prevented, several strategies can reduce risk:
- Healthy Diet: Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting red and processed meats. - Regular Screening: Colonoscopies and other screening tests can detect precancerous conditions early. - Vaccination: Vaccines for hepatitis B can reduce the risk of liver cancer. - Avoiding Risk Factors: Not smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and maintaining a healthy weight.
