Cancer is an erosion of the genes.. its when free radicals attack the molecular structure of cells and eventually destroy the cell.. it can attack any part of the body but I would say it must come through the blood or vital organs.. which process/carry foods.. I believe cancer is created from ingestion of free radical and toxic additives and preservatives.. apart from the obvious like asbestos which breaks up and then spears the tissue until it bleeds internally and becomes infected then cancerous.. or simply blocks the lungs which become clogged with mucos.. \n\noverall i strongly feel an anti-oxidant rich diet will help heal and avoid cancer.. i am about to go on a major detox.. and a friend of mine is a therapist.. he discovered a herb.. which is currently being "investigated" and tested.. but he claims he administered in trails to numerous patients.. some were completely healed others who were terminal had lengthy life entensions and no pain.. this plant is known to the aboriginal people.. who never get cancer incidently.. look into this.. i cant say the name- my mate will kill me.. but it is found in mercury rich soil.. i know that much.. and is a dar k green plant found in the desert which is very anti-oxidant rich.. a short leafy plant..  there is a simular plant recently discovered in africa too.. and a lot of new herbs and plants are now being checked out.. hopefuly theres still some left to discover.. maybe we should ask the aboriginals .. they might have all the cures we want.. if we listen to them..

Cancer is developed. You can't catch it. \n\nthe definition of cancer is: any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream \n___________________________________________________________\n\nThere are over 200 different types of cancer, and there are over 60 different organs in the body where you can get a cancer. \n\nSome you can prevent (skin cancer for example) some you can't prevent (lung cancer for example, even if you don't smoke, you can still get it). \n\nEvasive surgery and radiation can help cure some cancers but not all are treatable. \n\nBecause there are so many types, I can't just give you a link to read up on it.

Direct application of anti-cancer drugs to cancer cells. Being able to scrape the junk that builds up on arteries and leads to heart attacks.\n\nStuff like that.

I wouldn't say that it causes cancer, specifically, but it doesn't exactly promote good health, either. Psychosomatic illness is no joke, and an unsound mental outlook can potentially weaken the body, which could lead to an increased susceptibility to disease.

My opinion is that everything causes cancer now days.  It seems as if there is nothing healthy out there.  I am going to continue to use my cell phone, smoke cancer sticks, and drink cancer causing sugar substitues in my tea.   I mean really, what can we do.

This is a great site for students:\nhttp://www.cancerquest.org/index.cfm?page=2225\n\nI have used it in my classroom to investigate the biology behind cancer! Hope it helps!

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.

My sister had cancer, I prayed for her to be healed. About a week later her condition worsened. 2 months passed and the doctor came back to us and said that there was no sign of cancer left in her. It was like she was healed overnight.

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.

WebMD is a good website.  However, it is NOT true that only doctors can have an informed opinion on this.  I am a research biologist who studies cancer in my laboratory.  So, I think my opinion is valid even though I am not a Medical Doctor.  Please see my answer on your previous question for a more thorough explanation of the causes of cancer.\n\nRadiation is known to induce mutations, which can then result in cancer.  However, it is NOT clear whether the radiation dosage from power lines or cell phones is sufficient to cause cancer.  I suspect it is NOT or else we would be experiencing a cancer epidemic in America.

We just have some treatments for cancer and TB.  I guess you can cure TB but I don't think they ever call it "cure" with cancer.  There are treatments for HIV that work with varying degrees of success.

Cancer in all forms.  It claims so many lives everyday.  I am currently watching my Papaw die from this horrible disease.  His has metastasized to his entire body, and watching him waste away and lose weight, have so much pain, and suffer absolutely kills me too.  I have also had many other friends and family members suffer with cancer, including my mother who had breast cancer.  I pray every day that a cure will be found for it.

I think the second one.\n\nMany cancers can be prevented thru healthy lifestyle choices.

yeah, there is a good chance that you can cure cancer. to me, anything is possible. you just have to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
