Understanding Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. It can develop in various organs, including the throat, mouth, and nasal passages. Early detection and treatment play a crucial role in improving survival rates and overall health outcomes.
Common Causes of Cancer
1. Genetic Mutations – Changes in DNA can lead to abnormal cell growth.
2. Tobacco & Alcohol Use – Smoking, chewing tobacco, and excessive alcohol consumption increase cancer risk.
3. Viral Infections – Human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are linked to certain cancers.
4. Prolonged Sun Exposure – UV radiation can cause skin cancer and lip cancer.
5. Chemical & Environmental Exposure – Pollutants, asbestos, and industrial chemicals can increase cancer risk.
6. Chronic Inflammation – Long-term irritation or infections can contribute to cancer development.
7. Weakened Immune System – People with compromised immunity are more vulnerable to cancer.
8. Diet & Lifestyle Factors – Poor diet, lack of exercise, and obesity increase cancer risk.
9. Radiation Exposure – Prolonged exposure to radiation from medical treatments or environmental sources.
10. Genetic Predisposition – Family history of cancer can increase susceptibility.
