Prevention strategies vary by cancer type but generally include:
Regular screenings: Pap smears and HPV tests can help detect cervical cancer early. Vaccination: The HPV vaccine can significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer. Healthy lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, and eating a balanced diet can lower risk. Genetic counseling: Women with a family history of gynecologic cancers may benefit from genetic counseling and testing for mutations like BRCA1 and BRCA2.
