Lifestyle changes for one.

Do you smoke? quit smoking. Do you live in areas with lots of air polution? High levels of radon where you live? Move.

Do you work with a bunch of carcinogenic chemicals? Find something else to do.

You can also get a gene test do see if you're suspectable to certain cancers.

But most importantly: listen to your body. If you feel that something is wrong, take it up with your doctor.

The newest thing is to avoid ground level apartments in a city with traffic if you can.

I’ve been told brake (or tire) dust is the newest suspect for why young never-smokers are developing lung cancer (combined with certain relatively prevalent mutations).

my city apartments are always coated in black dust... several floors up
Any recommendations on a genetic test to check for susceptibility?
weed?
Switch to edibles?
