Prevention of kidney cancer

Although the reasons for the development of kidney cancer are not clear, epidemic data shows the following intervention may help to reduce your risk of kidney cancer:

• Early screening and treating genetic and hereditary diseases
• Changing lifestyle: Quitting smoking and controlling weight.
• Decreasing exposure to job-related risk factors such as asbestos, cadmium, some herbicides, benzene, and organic solvents, particularly trichloroethylene.
• Early detection and control of hypertension
• Early treatment of advanced kidney diseases
• Taking medicine under the doctors' direction
