WHAT IS CANCER

 Cancer

Cancer is a variety of diseases in the course of which the uncontrolled reproduction of degenerate cells destroys healthy tissue. After cardiovascular diseases, cancer is the most common cause of death. lifebloombeauty

What is Cancer?

Cancer involves abnormal changes in the body's cells. This leads to an increase in cancer cells. If the body cells are healthy, their growth, development, and division and their death proceed without any problems. However, this regulation is absent for cancer cells. So they divide again and again so that they eventually form a lump. Doctors also refer to malignant cancer cells as malignant cells. These cells penetrate deeper and deeper into adjacent tissue, where they multiply and destroy the healthy tissue more and more.

Doctors often speak of a cancerous tumor. A tumor is a hardening or swelling. However, there are also benign tumors. Benign tumors include lipomas (fatty growths), birthmarks, hemangiomas (vascular growths), and myomas (muscle cell growths). The difference between benign tumors and malignant tumors is that no cells from them get into healthy tissue. On the other hand, malignant tumors can lead to the development of so-called metastases (daughter tumors). futuretechexpert

What types of cancer are there?

Medical professionals differentiate between two different types of cancer. It refers to

·       solid (firm or hard) tumors as well

·       malignant hemoblastosis. naturalbeautytrends

The group of solid tumors includes carcinomas that arise from degenerate skin cover cells (epithelial cells), gland cells, or mucous membrane cells, as well as sarcomas that are partly formed from muscle cells, bone cells, fat cells, or degenerated connective tissue cells. smarttechpros

Causes and Risk Factors

Despite the intensive research efforts, it has still not been possible to fathom the exact causes of cancer. Numerous risk factors are believed to have an impact on the development of cancer. In some cases, genetic triggers are hidden behind a cancerous disease. But the lifestyle of the people affected is also essential. The most important risk factors include:

·       a genetic predisposition

·       an unhealthy diet such as overeating red meat, excessive consumption of alcohol, and a lack of fiber, fruits, and vegetables, all of which increase the risk of gastrointestinal cancers

·       Tobacco consumption, which can be responsible for the development of lung cancer or cancers of the respiratory tract

·       ionizing radiation such as X-rays, radon rays, or radiation accidents

·       Environmental toxins

·       intense UV radiation that can cause skin cancer

·       certain infections such as human papillomavirus (HPV) infections or hepatitis B infections.
