"What is Cancer?"
Cancer /ˈkænsər/ ( listen) (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a cell, or a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, and do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer is oncology.

Cancer affects people at all ages with the risk for most types increasing with age.[1] It caused about 13% of all human deaths in 2007[2] (7.6 million).[3] Cancers are primarily an environmental disease with 90-95% of cases due to lifestyle and environmental factors and 5-10% due to genetics.[4] Common environmental factors leading to cancer death include: tobacco (25-30%) , diet and obesity (30-35%), infections (15-20%), radiation, stress, physical activity, environmental pollutants.[4] These environmental factors cause abnormalities in the genetic material of cells.[5]

  • The Most Important question & the Most simple question is :

    WHEEEEEN YOU WILL FIND MEDICAL TREATMENT ( CURE ) FOR THIS disaster( not disease ) as per history record they said cancer was written before 3000-1500 BC = 5000 years ago in Egyptian papyrus , from 5000 years until now you didn't found any medicine for this disease and you called yourself we are in modern development science age , ahh

    you are in big nonsense , we discover only few things very very very few things from the science.
