Overview
Primary prevention of non-small cell lung cancer includes avoidance of smoking, smoking exposure, exposure to asbestos, and other high-risk occupational jobs.
Primary Prevention
The following preventive measures reduce the risk of non-small cell lung cancer:[1][2]
- 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
- Healthy eating habits
- The following have a protective effect against lung cancer due to higher beta-carotene content:[3]
- Retinoids

- Multivitamins
