1, What is Cancer actually?
Cancer is a disease involving abnormal cell growth with a
potential to invade to other parts of the body. In contrast benign
tumors do not spread to other parts of the body.
Breast Cancer
Colorectal Cancer
Kidney Cancer
Lung Cancer

Pancreatic Cancer
Prostate Cancer
Thyroid Cancer
Uterine Cancer
Brain Cancer
Mass effects from lung cancer can block the bronchus resulting in
cough or Pneumonia; Esophageal Cancer can cause narrowing of
the Esophagus, making it difficult or painful to swallow; and
Colorectal Cancer may lead to narrowing or blockages in the
Bowel, affecting bowel habits. Masses in breasts or testicles may
produce observable lumps. Ulceration can cause bleeding that, if
it occurs in the lung, will lead to coughing up blood, in the bowels

to anemia or rectal bleeding, in the bladder to blood in the urine
and in the uterus to vaginal bleeding.
These are some local symptoms which can show up the growth of
cancer cells.

lead to cancer happen at random, research suggests there are
epigenetic triggers that may increase prevalence of DNA damage.
6, Prevention Steps:
DNA is vital for cell function and the body has mechanisms
by which it protects DNA from being damaged. One of the
most important mechanisms is the one responsible for the
production of antioxidants. A major step in the prevention
of DNA damage, and therefore cancer, would be to
optimize antioxidant activity. Research has suggested that
this can be achieved through the adoption of a diet that
incorporates antioxidant rich foods or extracts.
9|STUDY OF CANCER
Glutathione plays a major role in the antioxidant activities
of the body. Evidence shows that this molecule alone has
the ability to influence cancer risk in a directly correlative
manner. This means that by increasing your body’s supply
of glutathione, you are drastically improving its ability to
control free radicals before they damage cells. There are
several ways in which you can increase your supply of
glutathione.

8, Main Causes of Cancer:
Tobacco use is the cause of about 33% of cancer deaths.
Another 10% is due to obesity, poor diet, lack of physical
activity, excessive drinking of alcohol.
Nearly 20% of cancer cause is due to hepatitis B, hepatitis C
and human papillomavirus.
Approximately 5-10% of cancer is due to inherited genetic
defect from person’s parents.
