Primary prevention of non small cell lung cancer includes avoidance of smoking, smoking exposure, exposure to asbestos, and other high risk occupational jobs.[1]
Primary Prevention
The following preventive measures reduce the risk of non small cell lung cancer:[1]
- Avoid smoking
- Avoid second hand smoking exposure
- Avoid radon exposure
- Homes and other buildings in nearly any part of the United States can have high indoor radon levels (especially in basements)
- Avoid or limit exposure to cancer-causing chemicals
