The second part is related to exercise and environmental protection, including daily physical exercise and avoiding sedentary lifestyle; taking reasonable measures to maintain a healthy weight; paying attention to sun protection and using sunscreen products, especially children should avoid exposure to sunlight and do not use sunlamp bathing beds; avoiding exposure to carcinogenic substances in the workplace and checking whether the radon level at home exceeds the standard. Cancer prevention guidelines for women include: breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer in women, so mothers are advised to breastfeed their babies as much as possible; hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk of cancer in women, etc. In addition, the International Agency for Research on Cancer emphasized the importance of vaccines and screenings for cancer prevention. The guidelines suggest that children should be ensured to receive the hepatitis B vaccine and girls should also receive the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine; both men and women should be screened for bowel cancer, women should be screened for breast cancer, and men should be screened for prostate cancer.
