  The risk of many cancers in adults can be reduced with certain lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking). But other than radiation exposure, there are no known lifestyle-related or environmental risk factors for brain and spinal cord tumors, so at this time there is no known way to protect against most of these tumors. […] Still, when it is needed, doctors try to limit the dose of radiation as much as possible. […] If there is any increase in risk from these tests, it is likely to be very small, but to be safe, most doctors recommend that people (especially pregnant women and children) not get these tests unless they are absolutely needed.

However, there are some factors known to increase ones risk of developing brain tumors. […] At Winship, our experts in brain and spinal cancers are working to determine what causes primary tumors in these areas. While there are currently no known evidence-based prevention strategies for brain cancer, according to the NCI, there is promising research being done right now.

  While prevention of spinal cord tumors may not always be possible, there are certain steps individuals can take to reduce their risk. By adopting a proactive approach and making healthy lifestyle choices, one can potentially lower the chances of developing this condition. Regular exercise is crucial for maintaining overall health and reducing the risk of various diseases, including spinal cord tumors. Engaging in physical activities that promote strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness can help support a healthy immune system and minimize the risk factors associated with tumor development. […] Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is essential. A nutrient-dense diet provides the body with the necessary vitamins and minerals to support optimal health and strengthen the immune system. Avoiding exposure to potential carcinogens or harmful substances is another important aspect of prevention. This involves minimizing exposure to environmental toxins such as tobacco smoke, industrial chemicals, radiation sources, and certain pesticides. Regular check-ups with healthcare professionals are also vital for early detection and intervention. Routine screenings can help identify any potential issues or abnormalities in their early stages when treatment options are often more effective.
