Normally, the cells in our bodies usually constantly divide when it’s necessary, but they will stop when the body doesn’t need them anymore and they will eventually die. Cancer happens when the cells keep dividing even if they don’t have to.
They are many contributing factors to the formation and development of cancer such as:
- Chemical
- Smoking
- Viruses
- Radiation
There are multiple types of cancer that are most popular and lethal (Lung-cancer, Prostate cancer, Colon cancer, Breast cancer, etc.)
The symptoms of cancers can be varying from coughing to diarrhea and blood in stool. This depends on where the cancer tumor is located. However, most of the time, the sign of symptom is really weak until the stage become more severe.
There are different types of treatment for cancer which can be extremely difficult. The most popular treatments are radiation and chemotherapy. Prior starting either radiation or chemotherapy treatments, a surgery was usually performed. The results are varied depended on the stage of cancer the patient’s at.
