Cancer Prevention
Almost everyone on the planet will know someone who has died from cancer but the cure will come, it is just a matter of time. When the cure is finally discovered it will have a huge impact around the world. While we do know about some of the causes of cancer, no-one can predict who, where or when it will be triggered. Is Cancer Genetic or Acquired?
Could it be true that we are all born with it? Well, it is a disease that's characterized by a large number of cells that continue to grow and divide.
Benign tumors do not normally grow larger, metastasize or threaten the body and organs like malignant (cancerous) tumors do although it is possible for a malignant tumor to have started out as benign. It is responsible for thirteen percent of all deaths around the world. Most cancers are caused by some form of poison in the cells which creates abnormalities in the genetic makeup of those cells.
To further complicate matters, it can also be the result of problems with faulty genetic codes passed down by parents which means that a person can be born with pre-cancerous cells although faults can also occur with the body's DNA replication ability. It would seem that certain people's genetic makeup makes them less prone to contacting the illness even if they are allowing harmful carcinogens into their bodies.
Owing to the worldwide problem of cancer, it is regularly studied throughout the world and extending our knowledge on the subject. We are always learning more about diseases and how they affect our bodies and minds. Knowledge like this could enable more people avoid contracting cancer in the first place.
Even if this is not the case, what we eat does have an effect on our overall and long term health. People are generally eating too much of the wrong things such as an excess salt intake, too much saturated fat and certain dairy produce.
No-one is immune from cancer. It can affect anyone at some time in a person's life. Long term research has helped the situation and many forms can now be treated at even later stages than could be only a little while ago. It is only a matter of time before a complete cure is discovered.
