How Can We Prevent Pediatric Cancers Related to Tumor Suppressors?
While not all pediatric cancers can be prevented, certain measures can reduce risks:
1. Genetic Counseling and Testing: Families with a history of cancer can benefit from genetic counseling to understand their risks and consider early testing. 2. Regular Screening: For children known to carry mutations in tumor suppressor genes, regular screening and monitoring can help detect cancers early when they are most treatable. 3. Healthy Lifestyle: Encouraging a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can support overall well-being and potentially reduce some cancer risks.
