Only ~40% of cancers are actually preventable and even if people followed all guidelines, we'd still see around 1 in 4 people developing cancer. For most people, the second line of defense is early detection, which is important to mention so people don't say "I have such a healthy lifestyle, it's very unlikely that I'll get cancer". Millions of extremely healthy people out there develop cancer every year.
Your recommendations are good, the easiest one being the HPV vaccine when under 30s.
