Cancer has consistently ranked as the leading cause of death in Taiwan for years, claiming over 50,000 lives annually. Yet, the World Health Organization (WHO) states that at least one-third of all cancers are preventable. Director Tseng Chao-Wei of Lucky Preventive Medicine emphasizes: “Cancer prevention isn’t about luck—it’s about strategy.”

Modern cancer prevention goes beyond screening and early detection. It should begin with personalized medicine and health management at the cellular level.

I. First Line of Defense: Genetic Testing — Know Your Vulnerabilities Sooner

Each of us carries different genetic risk profiles. Some are prone to inflammation, some have slow metabolism, and others have impaired detoxification capabilities. Through cancer risk genetic testing (e.g., BRCA1/2, TP53, GST, MTHFR), we can assess your potential risks for:

• Breast/Ovarian/Prostate/Colorectal Cancers

• Environmental Toxin Processing Ability (Detox Genes)

• Free Radical Clearing Efficiency (Antioxidant Capacity)

• DNA Repair and Cellular Aging Speed

Director Tseng notes: “Genes are not your destiny—they are your guide. The sooner you know your weaknesses, the sooner you can strengthen your defenses.”

II. Second Line of Defense: Lifestyle Adjustments — Stop Nurturing Cancer Cells Daily

Many cancer cells thrive in environments created by modern lifestyles characterized by high stress, poor sleep, and inflammatory diets. Core adjustments to reduce cancer risk include:

• Anti-Inflammatory Diet

  Reduce processed foods, sugar, and trans fats. Increase whole foods, colorful fruits and vegetables, Omega-3 fatty acids, and high-fiber meals.

  ✔ Recommended eating patterns: Mediterranean diet, DASH diet, plant-based low-glycemic diet.

• Stress Management and Sleep Routine

  Chronic stress activates cortisol, which suppresses immunity and can trigger cell mutations. Mindfulness, deep breathing, and regular sleep help stabilize the autonomic nervous system.

• Metabolic Health Improvement

  Weight control, muscle strengthening, and reducing visceral fat can effectively lower insulin resistance and hormonal imbalance, indirectly reducing risks for breast, colorectal, pancreatic, and other cancers.

III. Third Line of Defense: Advanced Nutrition & Functional Medicine — Precision Supplementation for Anti-Cancer Support

Many believe that “taking supplements is enough,” but functional medicine focuses on supplementing what your body lacks, in the right form and dosage.

Below are clinically supported nutrients commonly used in cancer prevention:

At Lucky Phoenix, we combine functional medicine nutritionist evaluations with clinical evidence to help clients create personalized “Cancer Prevention Nutrition Plans” based on genetic and metabolic reports.

Cancer Prevention Is Not a One-Time Check—It’s a Long-Term Active Choice

Director Tseng emphasizes: “Health isn’t something you address only when you get sick—it’s what you cultivate daily through the right habits.”

Lucky Phoenix Health Management Center designs a “Triple-Layer Cancer Defense System” that includes:

• Genetic + Functional Medicine Risk Assessment

• Integrated Eastern-Western Anti-Cancer Regimens (e.g., antioxidant IV drips, liver detox, emotional balance)

• Regenerative Medicine and Immune Support Therapies (e.g., exosome-assisted repair, natural killer cell activation)

We help your body not only avoid disease but also resist long-term illness and maintain youthfulness and repair capacity.
