What is Cancer?

Cancer is a condition in which the cells of the body start growing abnormally and in an uncontrolled manner. This abnormal cell production can occur anywhere in the body. When the normal growth chain of cells breaks down, it forms a mass of tissues called tumors. The location where the tumor is formed decides the severity of the disease. Some tumors invade tissues and spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis. So cancer is a life-threatening disease if not diagnosed at the right time.

What Causes Cancer?

Sometimes, the causes of cancer are genetic mutations and sometimes inherited. However, there are other reasons that can cause cancer:

• People who smoke can develop cancer cells
• Excessive exposure to sunlight induces cancer
• Being overweight 
• Obesity 
• Alcohol consumption 
• Genes mutations
• Hereditary 
• Using products of people with cancer
• Infections and viruses
• As a result of a transplantation

Significance of Cancer Screening:

Cancer signs will not get visible in the early stages so it is important to do some screenings to detect cancer. Because when these cancer cells are diagnosed early the chances for survival and treatment success increase. The spread of the disease can be stopped in time by this screening process. More options become available for the disease when detected at the start. 

Individuals feel good about their treatment journey when the chances of survival increase and the treatment also becomes cost-effective. So early detection of cancer can hopefully give a new life to suffering patients
