Some Facts about Cancer

2. Some facts about cancer:
There are more than 100 different types of cancer. All cancers begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life.
When cells become old or damaged, they die and are replaced with new cells. However, sometimes this
orderly process goes wrong. The genetic material (DNA) of a cell can become damaged or changed,
producing mutations that affect normal cell growth and division. When this happens, cells do not die
when they should, and new cells form when the body does not need them. The extra cells may form a
mass of tissue called a tumor.
It is estimated that 50% of all cancer can be linked to lifestyle and are therefore preventable according
to the UN's public health arm in its World Cancer Report. Some of the main drivers are obesity, bad diet,
consumption of tobacco, alcohol, lack of physical activity.
Despite promising advances, it is apparent that we cannot treat our way out of the cancer problem.
More commitment to prevention and early detection is desperately needed in order to complement
improved treatments and address the alarming rise in the cancer burden globally.
You can focus on the prevention and detection of cancer which can be achieved as follows:
