Tips to reduce the risk of cancer
Although the exact cause of cancer is still unknown and a lot of research has been conducted to unearth this area, the lifestyle choices one makes do determine the consequences to a great extent. Here are some very simple lifestyle modifications that will make a big difference.
- Say no to tobacco. Smoking and the use of tobacco have been linked to many types of cancer. Even if one does not use tobacco, its exposure can also result in cancer. One of the best decisions one can make is to avoid tobacco or smoking. This reduces the chances of catching cancer to a large extent.
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and have healthy food habits.
- Avoid obesity.
- Use alcohol in moderation.
- Limited processed meat.
- Be physically active and maintain a healthy body weight.
- Protect yourself from the sun.
- Get yourself immunized against Hepatitis B and HPV.
- Practice safe sex.
- Don’t share needles.
- Get yourself medically checked every year after the age of 45.
How CancerFax Helps
CancerFax is a specialist cancer access and patient-navigation platform. We help patients and families understand their options, organise medical records, coordinate hospital communication, and support cross-border treatment planning where appropriate.
We help collect and organise reports, scans, pathology, biomarker results, and treatment history for structured case review.
We communicate with hospitals or trial teams to assess whether a case may be suitable for further screening.
We support appointment coordination, document submission, translation, and direct communication with international departments.
For international patients, we help with practical coordination — travel planning, hospital admission guidance, and local support.
If this option is not suitable, we help explore other relevant treatments, clinical trials, or advanced care pathways.
From inquiry through to follow-up, our coordinators provide a single point of contact for the family.
CancerFax does not guarantee treatment access, eligibility, or clinical outcome. Our role is to help patients access accurate information, structured review, and appropriate specialist pathways.
