Preventive oncology

Preventive Oncology Service

Preventive oncology is a branch of medicine focused on reducing the risk of cancer through early detection, screening, lifestyle modification, genetic counseling, and preventive therapies. The goal is to identify individuals at high risk of developing cancer and implement strategies to prevent or catch it early when treatment is most effective.

Vaccination plays a pivotal role in cancer prevention, particularly against cancers caused by viral infections. At NOA, we provide access to crucial vaccines, such as the HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer and the Hepatitis B vaccine to reduce liver cancer risk. These vaccinations are a powerful and proven tool in the fight against cancer, offering protection and peace of mind.

Cancer Causing Risk Factors

Several lifestyle and environmental factors increase cancer risk. Modifiable risk factors include tobacco and alcohol use, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor diet, while non-modifiable factors include genetics and exposure to radiation or environmental carcinogens.

Preventive oncology works to identify these risks and offers strategies to reduce exposure, such as quitting smoking, exercising, and avoiding harmful substances. It also focuses on early detection through screening to catch cancers at their earliest and most treatable stages.
