Cancer is abnormal cell growth that can spread and lead to death if not treated. It is difficult to pinpoint exact causes, but substances like tobacco, pollution, viruses, asbestos, and UV rays can increase cancer risk. The early signs of cancer include changes in bowel or bladder habits, sores that don't heal, unusual bleeding or discharge, lumps in breasts or other areas, difficulty swallowing, coughing or hoarseness. Cancer treatment focuses on surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or combinations to remove or destroy cancer at the earliest possible stage for the highest chance of cure. Most cancers are potentially curable if caught early through treatment.

What is cancer?
Cancer is an abnormal growth of a body cell or a group of cells. If it isn't destroyed or
removed, cancer can spread rapidly, and lead to death. There are billions of cells in the
body which grow in a wellregulated pattern. When cancer sets in, the cells suddenly start
multiplying haphazardly and form a lump or `tumour'.
What causes cancer?
Though it is difficult to pinpoint the cause, substances known as carcinogens, can increase
your chances of getting cancer. For instance, people who smoke or chew tobacco are more
prone to mouth, throat and lung cancer. Contrary to popular opinion, smoking beedi is
twice as dangerous as smoking cigarettes. Pollution and consumption of preserved,
smoked and junk food are also contributors to cancer. Even certain viruses can cause
cancer (EBV , Hepatitis B, HPV). Some of the other causes of cancer are: exposure to
asbestos, arsenic, pitch, tar and ultra-violet rays.

cancers are completely curable if treated early . But it can even be cured
later depending on the type of cancer and stage of cancer.
