Cancer is Abnormal Cell Growth

Cancer cells develop when the normal control mechanism of the body malfunctions. Old cells, instead of dying, have out-of-control growth, resulting in new, abnormal cells. Such abnormal cells may take the form of a mass of tissue called a tumour. Some cancers do not form tumours. Cancer can begin in any part of the body.

Cancer can be caused by the following reasons:

• Poor diet and less physical activity
• Smoking and tobacco
• Abnormal exposure to the sun or chemicals or radiation
• Viral, parasital, or bacterial infections
• Family history of cancer

Cancer can develop at any age

Cancer mostly occurs due to aging but some types of cancer occur in people in the 20-39 year age group. Cancers that begin in childhood are challenging to treat because they are usually not caused by environmental factors; the abnormal changes that occur before birth make it uniquely difficult to treat such cancers in the child later on. The types of cancer that develop in youth have a different treatment plan as compared to those that develop at an older age.
