where does cancer comew from?

Question

I personally believe its from all of the different toxins and poisons that we put into our bodies from non-organic foods and drugs.

Answer 1

cancer is a mutation in your dna. older people are more susceptible to get it. To break it down...when cells divide during mitosis their ends up by being two straand of half of a DNA then the matching amino acids come and attach themselves. There is a little protein that comes and checks the dna to make sure the right amino acids are paired (I.E a is with t and c is with g)
however, as we get older the protein is able to make mistakes. When this protein makes the mistake you get a mutated dna. that divides and so the cancer cell is born!! yeah its pretty confusing.

Answer 2

Actually no one knows from where the disease cancer comes to our body. But it is found that the major risk factors for cancer are: tobacco, alcohol, diet, sexual and reproductive behavior, infectious agents, family history, occupation, environment and pollution.

According to the estimates of the American Cancer Society (ACS), approximately 40% of the cancer deaths in 1998 will be due to tobacco and excessive alcohol use. An additional one-third of the deaths will be related to diet and nutrition. Many of the one million skin cancers that are expected to be diagnosed in 1998 will be due to over-exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun's rays.

Cancer is a progressive disease, and goes through several stages. Each stage may produce a number of symptoms. Some symptoms are produced early and may occur due to a tumor that is growing within an organ or a gland. As the tumor grows, it may press on the nearby nerves, organs and blood vessels. This causes pain and some pressure which may be the earliest warning signs of cancer.-

Nobody really knows. We know what can cause cancer and what agents are more prone to develop cancer, but to give you a source of where it comes from, that's impossible. Cancer is when your cells divide uncontrollably and cannot stop dividing. You see, your skin cells, for example, continuously divide because dead skin cells have to be sloughed off after some period of time so that new skin cells replace them. (You can see this evident in a sunburn. You don't have a sunburn forever! After a week or so, your skin starts to peel...those are dead skin cells and your body will make new skin cells to replace the dead ones!) Although, your skin cells are continuously dividing, there are ways in which it divides and this division is regulated by certain factors in your cells. Cancer, on the other hand, continuously divides and has no mechanisms which control or inhibit its growth. It does not listen to what the cell would want it to do. It just does it's own thing. Well, before you know it, there are cancer cells everyone because they divide very fast. X-rays cannot detect a cancerous mass in the human body until it is about 0.25 cm in mass...that is approximately 100,000,000 cancer cells! Hope this helps.

Answer 4

I ask that question myself when I was told I had colon cancer the others who answered your question broke it down to what causes it you are right about the toxins in the food and in the air we breath eating the right does not stop it if we have it I was told it is like having a baby in side of you it feeds on what ever you eat and grows as in my case it has move to my lungs.
