cancer affects the nerve cells in the brain that
produce dopamine. It is a progressive
nervous system disorder that affects
movement. Symptoms start gradually,
sometimes starting with a barely noticeable
tremor in just one hand. Tremors are
common, but the disorder also commonly
causes stiffness or slowing of movement.
In the early stages of Parkinson’s disease,
your face may show little or no expression.
Your arms may not swing when you walk.
Your speech becomes soft or slurred.
Parkinson’s disease symptoms worsen as
your condition progresses over time.
Although Parkinson’s disease can’t be cured,
medications might significantly improve
your symptoms.

The cause of Parkinson’s disease is unknown, but
several factors appear to play a role, including:
Your genes. A number of genetic factors have been
shown to increase a person’s risk of developing
Parkinson’s disease, although exactly how these make
some people susceptible to the condition is unclear.
Parkinson’s can run in families as a result of family
genes being passed to a child by their parents.
However, it’s rare to the disease to be inherited this
way.
Environmental triggers. It’s been suggested that
pesticides and herbicides used in farming and traffic or
industrial pollution may contribute to the condition.
However, the evidence linking environmental factors to
Parkinson’s disease is inconclusive.
