Can carcinoma of unknown primary be prevented?

Like other cancers, certain risk factors can increase your risk of cancer. However, having or not having risk factors doesn’t guarantee that you will or won’t get cancer. Still, known cancer risks that you can act on to improve your general health and perhaps lower your risk of cancer include:

• Stop smoking if you smoke. Smoking increases the risk of many cancers.
• Eat a healthy diet full of vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes and lean proteins.
• Lose weight if you are overweight.
• Wear sunscreen, hats and other protective clothing to reduce the risk of skin cancer.
• Stay physically active.
• Limit your alcohol intake — women should not drink more than one alcoholic beverage per day and men, no more than two.
