Cancer claims millions of lives every year, and although there is discovered a cure for cancer. People often think that cancer is caused by some external bacteria, virus, or fungi but it couldn't be farther from the truth. In truth, cancer is caused by our body cells multiplying uncontrollably and taking away nutrients and oxygen from nearby healthy organs i.e. it forms a tumor.
There are many reasons why a patient may develop cancerous tumors in their body, the reasons include:
- Regular exposure to carcinogens such as smoke, alcohol, and consuming food with unhealthy fats.
- Having prevalent workplace hazards such as working in industrial plants or handling nuclear waste regularly.
- Being immuno-suppressant can you make you more likely to get cancers as your immune system won't eliminate the cancer cells in its early stages.
