How could cancer be cause.

When a cell becomes 'worn out', the body replicates the cell so that the cells function can continue uninterrupted.  \n\nCancer occurs when a cell tries to replicate itself and makes a mistake when transcribing the genetic encoding to the new cell.  The resulting new cell is mutated, and is no longer able to accomplish the function the cell is designed for.  \n\nThe next time it replicates, the mutation is duplicated, and frequently exacerbated, during the duplication process.  \n\nEach time this occurs, the resulting product of the attempt to replicate becomes more and more mutated, and less and less able to accomplish the function of the cell.\n\nThe cells then begin to clump - since the cell is attempting to carry out its assigned function and finds itself unable to do so.  This triggers the mechanism which causes the cell to replicate; so that the resulting product of replication will be able to carry out the cells primary function.  \n\nWhen the replication is incapable of accomplishing the primary function of the cell, it triggers another replication.  The clump grows larger and larger, and eventually you have a tumor.

It's possible that these chemicals influence cancer rates, but you also have to remember that the population of developed nations tend to live longer - giving more chance for cancers to develop.  Cancer is also the scourge of long life.  \n\nDo first world countries rely on chemicals too much - absolutely.  Part of it's thanks to advertising (get your floor more clean with XYZ), demands for food that don't go bad in a day, and a mantra to look the other way when it comes to our health.

Cancer. Sometimes a cigar...will kill you.

The honest and scientific answer to this is that it would depend on the type of carcinogen that was present in the water what type of cancer they might get.

Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth.  Normally the cells in your body grow and divide along a fixed schedule, just enough to replace those that have died.  Sometimes, though, mutations occur within the cell in the pathway that controls growth.  These cells then begin growing and dividing without anything to keep them in check.  This is harmful because is destroys healthy tissue in the surrounding area and wastes valuable resources.

Some neoplasms (including cancers) are caused by viruses - think HPV - which are transmittable. Although that's not spreading 'cancer' as such.\n\nIn theory, were a cancerous cell which had broken off a tumor on it's way to metastasise somewhere else to happen to be drawn up into a needle and that cell were to be transferred in a needlestick injury (which is unbelievably rare to say the least - needlesticks aren't as dangerous as people might think) and that cell were to not be clobbered by the host immune system as soon as it entered the second person and that cell were to settle somewhere with a blood supply enabling to mitose then yes, cancer is transmittable.\n\nI just wouldn't place any bets on it happening.

Hmm you could start by looking to see if there is a relationship between vitamin use and cancer. Or even the tried and true cancer and smoking. IT really depends on what kind of data you have access to or if you are going to collect your own.

i believe it was lung cancer.

Health problems usually associated with electromagnetic radiation (such as cancer) are caused by waves of much higher frequency.  In fact, the light from an ordinary 100-watt light bulb or the heats from a campfire (the heat only not including the smoke) have greater potential to cause cancer.  The only health problem that a microwave could cause is burns, but unless you really do break the glass on your microwave, you should be fine, just be careful about burning yourself on hot dishes and plates.

Like most cancers, the absolute cause of stomach cancer is not known.  Three leading risk factors for stomach cancer are:\n\n1) diet\n2) smoking \n3) chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori.\n\nDietary factors include:\n\n1) excessive salt intake\n2) low intake of fresh fruits and vegetables\n3) high intakes of red meat - especially meat cooked at high temperatures.\n\nI hope you find this helpful.  Please be careful about placing blame for any cancer.  Cancer can take several decades to develop and may be related to experiences/exposures that the patient had decades before the diagnosis.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

many or most of the types of cancer are hereditary but not all.. some are acquired due to our way of living, like excessive smoking, drinking, drugs, etc.
