Remember that cancer is not just one disease, but over 200, not all of them have preventive actions, but some do.
Gardasil/Cervarix is a major outbreak, it should prevent about 90% of all cervical cancer cases, which is now the third most frequent cancer in woman, after lung and breast.
Some genetic testing are also available, in high risk patients they can get tested to asses their likelihood to have certain cancer, depending on the results, they can have surgery (remove both breasts and put an implant in very high-risk patients), or frequent testing (colonoscopy every 6 months in colon cancer). Examples of this are: thyroid cancer, breast ca, ovarian cancer and colon cancer.
However, genetic-caused cancer is not common, for example less than 5% of all breast cancer cases are directly caused genetics.
More than preventive, most measures are aimed to do an early diagnose: mammogram, SPA, stool blood, pap smear.
