Kidney Cancer Prevention
There is no guaranteed way to prevent cancer. However, you can reduce your risk for kidney cancer by:
- Not using tobacco. Talk to your doctor if you need help quitting.
- Exercising regularly.
- Eating a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and low-fat dairy. Talk with your doctor or a nutritionist about what you should include in a healthy diet.
- Keeping a healthy weight. Ask your doctor what a healthy weight is for you.
- Asking your doctor about genetic testing and screening recommendations if you have an inherited disease that increases your risk for kidney cancer.
Screening for Kidney Cancer
Typical wellness visits with your doctor do not include screening for kidney cancer. But if you have a genetic (inherited) disease that increases your risk for kidney cancer, your doctor may recommend tests.
