The 2 most common ways that people can get cancer is by the age old formula of tobacco and alcohol. They exert a multiplicative effect on your mouth to cause cancer. People usually get their cancers on the lip, floor of the mouth, or tongue. Cut these two things out in your lifestyle and you will markedly reduce you chances of oral cancer.

Well, cancer is abnormal cells that are growing out of control and will take over healthy tissue and cut off the blood supply.  I have been with three people who died from cancer and it was pretty awful. One brain tumor, one lung cancer and one cancer of the maxillary sinus cavity. \nThe bottom line is that there is abnormal tissue growing where it shouldn't be growing and the body doesn't want it there and it can press on nerves and do all kinds of things to cause pain depending on where it is located. It weakens the body and many times the treatments side effects cause pain too.

No. Cancer is due to genetic changes (mutations) that develop in cells when they divide. Most of these changes get repaired at the cellular level but some are not. If the change makes the cell behave and grow abnormally then this is cancer. Lots of environmental factors increase the risk of mutations or genetic changes including toxins in cigarette smoke - this is why cigarettes cause cancer.

iteology means the cause of the thing!\ne.g iteology of cancer is genetic mutaion = the cause of cancer is genetic mutation

Drugs are substances that cause a physical or mental change in your body. If they are used therapeutically, they get classed as pharmaceuticals.

Carcinogens causing global warming?!?!?!  NO.  Don't go rambling about things you don't understand.  Carcinogens are cancer-causing agents--things that mutate DNA.  Global warming is the result of greenhouse gases, which are gases that absorb more energy from sunlight than N2 and O2 do.\n\nI think at this point, we can certainly imagine that the problem is almost undoubtedly exacerbated by the burning of fossil fuels.  It sure can't be helping.  There is some debate as to whether or not the effects are the largest part of the problem, or whether we're coming out of an Ice Age anyways, and hence the gradual warming was unavoidable.\n\nWorse than gas buring in my opinion is the deliberate destruction of rainforests, which not only produces a great deal of CO2, but which also destoys an ecosystem that works to remove CO2 from the air.

No.  Cancer is a mutation of your body's cells and you can't cause that just by plucking the hairs, no matter how many you pluck.

There are many different forms of cancer and many different causes. Cancer develops from mutations in the genes that regulate cell division. The mutations silence the genes that ordinarily monitor replicating DNA for chemical errors. The affected cells have no built in brakes to halt cell division. As the abnormal mass of clees,called malignant tumor, grows, blood bessel form to supply the tumor with the nutrients it needs to support its growth.Eventually, the tumor invades healthy tissue and may metastasize.\n\nBladder cancer is associated with smoking cigs and alcohol.So is mouth, throat and esophagus cancers. Lung-smoking.Liver-infection with hepatitis virus,alcohol,iron overload,toxicity.Kidney and Pancreatic and lung cancer-high intakes of red meat(pan), cig smoking and air pollution.Prostate-high intakes of fats,esp.saturated fats from red meats and possibly milk products.Ovarian-high lactose intake from milk products and oral contraceptive use. Stomach-high intakes of smoke or salt preserved foods, smoking, infection with ulcer causing bacteria or refined flour or starch.Colorectal-high intakes of fat(saturated), red meat, alcohol, and supplemental iron.Low intakes of fiber, folate,viatmin D and veggies.

many chemicals in processed foods are carcinogenic so avoid them if you can. however its all about the amount you eat. particularly dangerous are artificial sweeteners, so dont drink diet fizzy drinks. eating lots of organic fresh fruit and vegetables will protect you from cancer.

its a form of cancer that is said to be cause by breathing in asbestos dust...asbestos is an old substance that was used to prevent fires in buildings....people in the construction business that installed or removed asbestos were at risk of developing cancer by handling it.....its not considered a hazarous material

like the other cancer prevention, try as possible to avoid carcinogenic factors. Carcinogenic factors are the factors which induces cancer inside the normal human body. Those factors, such as all well-barbaqued foods, or any kind of junk food are also carcinogenic factors.

Rashichakra is another term for the prostate.\n\nProstate cancer kills many men each year, so it can have quite an affect on a person's life.

PAH's are carcinogenic and are produced when you barbeque meat.  PAH is short for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.  Take a look at this link:\n\nhttp://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0813/is_n6_v16/ai_7827195

Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion or by implantation into distant sites by metastasis. Metastasis is defined as the stage in which cancer cells are transported through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Cancer may affect people at all ages, but risk increases with age. It is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries.\n\nThere are many types of cancer. Severity of symptoms depends on the site and character of the malignancy and whether there is metastasis. A definitive diagnosis usually requires the histologic examination of tissue by a pathologist. This tissue is obtained by biopsy or surgery. Most cancers can be treated and some cured, depending on the specific type, location, and stage. Once diagnosed, cancer is usually treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As research develops, treatments are becoming more specific for the type of cancer pathology. Drugs that target specific cancers already exist for several cancers. If untreated, cancers may eventually cause illness and death, though this is not always the case.\n\nfor more info. about cancer click the link below:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer\nyou will get all the information you need about cancer in the link.

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue (invasion) or by implantation into distant sites (metastasis). This unregulated growth is caused by damage to DNA, resulting in mutations to genes that control cell division. Several mutations may be required to transform a normal cell into a malignant cell. These mutations are often caused by chemicals or physical agents called carcinogens. Some mutations occur spontaneously, or they can be inherited (germ line mutations.)
