Like all illnesses and diseases there is usually an array of steps everyone can take to prevent diseases such as by following a healthy diet and exercising. Unfortunately as humans we can only do so much until it is out of our control. I did come across an interesting blog post though in which I found out that in a effort to reduce the risk of cancer, actress Angelina Jolie had preventative surgery for ovarian cancer. It's really a case-by-case basis and depends on your own individual health and situation. Your best bet, though, is to speak to your doctor and healthcare professional and see what measures you can take to help you, and to stay informed about the latest in health news.
