1.3 Risk reduction
While there is no evidence linking lifestyle changes to reduced risk of MM, it is important to encourage people to reduce modifiable risk factors for other types of cancer and health conditions. This includes providing advice on regular screening where indicated, preventing or reducing obesity, and support to quit smoking.
Although having a first-degree relative with MM increases the risk of developing MM, no causative genes have been identified. Genetic screening is not indicated for family members of people with MM.
