Prevention and Screening
Since the cause of anal cancer is unknown, it is not possible to completely prevent it. However, there are steps you can take to lower your risk. These include:
- Practice safe sex。Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection increases your risk of anal cancer, and HPV can be spread by sexual contact. Condoms can provide some protection, but will not prevent HPV completely. Consider getting tested for sexually transmitted illnesses with your partner.
- Get vaccinated for HPV。HPV疫苗接种可以防止感染，但不会治疗现有的HPV。
- Receive treatment if you have HIV。Medicine can keep HIV under control. This reduces the risk of a type of anal pre-cancer and long-term HPV infection.
- 如果你吸烟，戒烟。Smoking can increase your risk of many types of cancer, including anal cancer.
