You need a lot of anti-oxidants, like a whole food supplement (Juice Plus; Berry Greens, etc.") I'm not talking about a one-a-day multi-vitamin.
There are so many carcinogens in the environment, in our diet, all we can do is to flood our bodies with anti-oxidants and don't eat red meat. If you must eat meat, eat organic. Most meats contain antibiotics and hormones which are horrible for us. Educate yourself and read a good book regarding this subject.

There is no such thing as "good genes". You are what you put inside you. Put garbage or toxins in and don't expect that your body will work as optimally.
You need to get rid of toxins. Toxins come from smoke, environment, polluted water, unhealthy diet, air that we breathe in, etc. In many cases, toxins are the root causes of cancer. No conventional medical science can directly prove this. It takes years for cancers or any diseases to develop so it is hard to trace. But a simple dose of common sense and finding out more information both from natural health and conventional medicine will lead you to the conclusions about toxins.
I am not a purist however. I choose to do my own research and draw my own conclusions. I read various books and surf medical sites.

Pomegranates, broccolli, tomatoes, tomatoe paste, carrots, garlic just to mention a few. To reduce your risk of cancer, you need to eat a healthy diet, be at a good weight for your height, exercise, and get enough sleep.

There are no "anticarcinogens", other than avoidance of known carcinogens. Healthy diet, regular exercise, no cigarettes, limited alcohol & "good genes" are the only effective defense against cancer.
Don't let anyone sell you any other story!

I've read that garlic is excellent for stopping cancer!
