Cancer - types, causes and prevention

[Ami69]

What is Cancer? What are some of the types of cancer you know of? what causes cancer? how do we prevent cancer?

I know of breast cancer. what actually causes breast cancer?

Hi Ami,

Cancer is the uncontrolled division cells and intrusion and destruction of adjacent cells or tissues.

Cancer can affect any internal organ. Cause may be pathogens or any other factor. Prevention of cancer differs from type to type. A thorough checkup during every six months may help. But there is no way you can ultimately prevent it. Practice healthy habits only. Stop drinking and smoking.

Cause is unknown for 95% of breast cancer cases, while the 5% of cases are hereditary.

Hope that helps dear.

I have read on a medical article people in France are less prone in having CANCER of any type.

Why? They drink a lot of red wine... What do you have in red wine? It has
PHYTOCHEMICALS.

FACTS:

Most phytochemicals have antioxidant activity and protect our cells against oxidative damage and reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer. Phytochemicals with antioxidant activity, here are some i now:carotenoids (fruits, carrots), flavonoids (fruits, vegetables), polyphenols (tea, grapes).

Red wine is made out off fermented grape juice.

People in France has great immunity in Cancer because there family genes has a strong foundation in having antioxidants which you get in drinking wine.

I don't know about French people , but my grandfather was a greater red wine drinker ( and home made wine, the best quality , he used to make it himself ) and has developed liver cancer just because of that. The doctor told him to stop drinking otherwise he will not survive , he didn't listen and died in short time.
Nobody in my family drinks wine or any alcohol drinking since his death.
Thanks God we're very healthy so far .

There are various types of cancer according to the body parts to which they occur

most dangerous cancer cells are malignant cells.
If there are other cells present which are known as the benign cells, doctor's won't even tell you that they are cancerous cells because they are not that harmful.

Cancer if detected in early stages can be cured.

Most hazardous cancer is brain tumor & blood cancer, lung cancer.

As the people above said, cancer can happen to pretty much any internal organ. In terms of the causes and preventions, it greatly depends on what type of cancer. I say just make sure you do everything in a healthy manner - but even that doesn't mean you're absolutely prune to it. (i.e. breast cancer)

Cancer is really a very strange disease that has the ability to mutate and adapt to new circumstances, going to remission and then coming back with a vengeance. Cancer can affect many parts of our body and organs but some cancer has been overlooked such as breast cancer for men and stomach cancer.

Well I have heard that you can be prevented from getting cancer using aloe vera leaf. First of all you would need 3-4 aloe vera leaves,one bottle of honey, half bottle of gin. Cut the aloe vera leaves in pieces,mix the honey and the gin together, then use the mixture of honey and gin to grind the pieces of aloe vera leaves, then take 3 tablespoonful twice a day.

Def.Of Cancer----Cancer is a group of many related diseases that begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life. Normally, cells grow and divide to produce more cells only when the body needs them. Sometimes, however, cells become abnormal and keep dividing to form more cells without control or order, creating a mass of excess tissue called a tumor. Tumors can be malignant (cancerous) or benign (not cancerous).

There are various types of cancer known to mankind....and if I had to list them....it would be as following..

* Bone Cancer
* Brain Cancer
* Breast Cancer
* Endocrine Cancer
* Gastrointestinal Cancer
* Gynecologic Cancer
* Head & Neck Cancer
* Leukemia
* Lung Cancer
* Lymphoma
* Multiple Myeloma
* Prostate Cancer
* Skin Cancer
* Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Cancer can be prevented a fair few ways.

Juicing fruit and vegetables is one of the best ways to prevent any chronic disease not just cancer. It provides a wealth of benefits because the nutrition is in a bio-available form which hits the blood instantly.

Wheat grass is another super food which is advocated in all of anti-cancer nutritional programs. It contains all the amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and a load of other phytonutrients. It also has 50% of the protein RDI(recommended daily intake) in one shot. One shot is equal to 2lb of green vegetables.

[powerlifer]

I forgot to say some other points although juicing and wheat grass like i have said above are two amazing healing tools that diet and lifestyle are key.

It is best to cut down meat as much as possible as it contributes to intestinal prutrefaction and other digestive conditions as well as dairy which is another big no no.

A primarily vegetarian diet rich in wholefoods, fruits, vegetables and other live food can go along way.

No one can miss the magic bullet that is exercise which oxygenates the body and keeps us as healthy as possible.

My question might sound a little silly but i have never heard of 'heart cancer'
Does the heart never get cancer. Or even the Eyes.
Considering these 2 are organs too.

Cancer is the cells of division and the intrusion and the destruction not controlled of the adjacent cells or fabrics. Cancer can affect any internal body. The cause can be pathogenic microbes or any other factor. The cancer prevention differs from the type to the type. A complete control during semi-annually can help. But there is no manner that you can finally prevent it. Healthy practices of practice only. Cease drinking and smoking. Cancer is really a very strange disease which with the capacity to undergo a change and to adapt to new circumstances, going to the handing-over and then returning with a revenge.
