While not all cases of bladder cancer can be prevented, certain strategies can significantly reduce the risk:
Quit smoking: Avoiding or quitting smoking can dramatically decrease the risk of bladder cancer. Minimize occupational exposure: Using protective equipment and following safety protocols can help reduce exposure to harmful chemicals in the workplace. Safe drinking water: Ensuring access to arsenic-free drinking water can lower risk, particularly in areas where contamination is a concern. Regular medical check-ups: Early detection and management of risk factors or pre-cancerous conditions can help in prevention.
