CANCER
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that can invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
It typically develops through a multi-stage process, beginning with DNA mutations that transform normal cells into precancerous and eventually malignant cells.
Cancer can arise in almost any organ, and each type requires a tailored approach to diagnosis and management.

Causes & Risk Factors
- Genetic mutations and inherited factors
- Environmental toxins (smoking, pollution, radiation)
- Infections (HPV, hepatitis viruses, EBV)
- Lifestyle factors (diet, inactivity, alcohol)
- Hormonal and immune imbalance
- Aging and reduced cellular repair capacity
Common Symptoms
- Unexplained weight loss
- Persistent fatigue
- Lumps or abnormal growths
- Unusual bleeding
- Chronic cough or hoarseness
- Slow-healing wounds
- Changes in bowel or bladder habits
Diagnosis & Screening
Early detection is critical for effective cancer management. Diagnostic tools may include:
- Blood tests (tumor markers, advanced panels)
- Imaging (Ultrasound, CT, MRI)
- Genetic and cellular screening
- Organ-specific tests (colonoscopy, mammography)
Prevention & Risk Reduction
Many cancers are preventable through lifestyle and health optimization:
- Balanced nutrition
- Regular exercise
- Avoidance of toxins and smoking
- Weight management
- Routine health screening
