Why Preventive Oncology?

Most cancers are more treatable—and often curable—when found early. Preventive Oncology focuses on:

• Risk reduction: tobacco cessation, vaccinations, lifestyle guidance

• Risk detection: age- and risk-appropriate screenings

• Risk clarification: genetic counseling and targeted tests for high-risk families

Our multidisciplinary team (oncologists, physicians, genetic counselors, radiologists, pathologists, nutritionists, and psychologists) works together so your plan is personal, practical, and evidence-based.

What We Do

1) Comprehensive Risk Assessment

• Personal & family history, exposure risks (tobacco, alcohol, environment)

• Menstrual/reproductive history (for breast, ovarian, cervical risk)

• Medication & comorbidity review (diabetes, obesity, hepatitis, etc.)

2) Screening & Early Detection

• Breast: clinical breast exam, screening mammogram/ultrasound as indicated

• Cervical: Pap smear/HPV testing

• Oral cavity: oral visual exam (for tobacco/betel-nut users)

• Colorectal: stool test/colonoscopy per age & risk

• Prostate: shared decision-making for PSA (as appropriate)

• Lung: low-dose CT for eligible high-risk smokers/ex-smokers

• Liver: ultrasound and AFP for hepatitis B/C or cirrhosis

3) Vaccinations

• HPV vaccine (prevents most cervical and some other HPV-related cancers)

• Hepatitis B vaccine (reduces risk of liver cancer)

4) Genetic Counseling & High-Risk Clinics

• For families with early-onset or multiple related cancers

• BRCA and other gene panel testing where appropriate

• Tailored surveillance and preventive strategies

5) Lifestyle & Prevention Clinics

• Tobacco & areca-nut cessation support

• Weight, diet, and physical-activity coaching

• Alcohol harm-reduction counseling

• Sun-safety and occupational exposure guidance

6) Survivorship & Recurrence Prevention

• Follow-up schedules, late-effects monitoring

• Nutrition, rehab, mental-health support
