Chemoprevention is the use of natural, synthetic (made in a laboratory), or biologic (from a living source) substances to reverse, slow down, or prevent the development of cancer. Cancer chemoprevention uses substances to stop cancer from developing. These substances may be natural or made in a laboratory. A doctor uses chemoprevention to lower a person’s risk of developing cancer, especially for: People who are at a high risk of developing cancer. This includes those with an inherited cancer syndrome or a family history of cancer, People who have already had cancer. Chemoprevention can lower the risk of a cancer recurrence or a new cancer. A recurrence is when the cancer comes back after treatment. Chemoprevention drugs are typically not used to treat cancer. And taking them does not fully protect a person from developing cancer in the future.
