What preventive measures can be taken to reduce infection risk in cancer patients?
Preventive measures include maintaining good hygiene, avoiding large crowds and people who are sick, and following a balanced diet to keep the immune system as strong as possible. Prophylactic treatments, such as antibiotics or antifungal medications, may be prescribed for high-risk patients. Vaccinations can also play a role, although live vaccines are generally avoided in immunocompromised patients.
