Cancer is a disease where normal cells in the body grows abnormally. These cells divide uncontrollably. It can develop in almost all organs in your body. These are the colon, lungs, breast, skin and even bones. It also goes with gender because common cancer in men is prostrate, lung and colon cancer while in women it is breast, colon and lung cancer.
Cancer is caused by pesticides used in agriculture and homestead, such that as you protect yourself from malaria you are causing more harm in your body. Other causes are radiation, sunlight, smoking of tobacco (first hand or second), benzene, some virus and poisonous mushroom mostly found in the peanut plant. But the causes of some cancer still remain unknown.
Diet plays a big role because you find gastric cancer very common in Japan, also in part of Africa where most people consume fast food chicken that is injected to mature in a month. However a report shows that the most fatal one globally is lung cancer. Recently studies and reports show how our society as a whole has grown heavier and chubbier, this being one of cause of cancer.
Other types of cancer are kidney, skin, brain, bone, cervical, intestinal, leukemia, liver, ovarian, pancreatic and Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer. Symptoms of cancer vary with location the of the tumor, like lung cancer causes coughing, shortness of breath or even chest pain. Colon cancer on the other hand causes diarrhea, constipation, and blood in the stool.
Did you know some cancers may not have any symptoms at all? While others like gallbladder cancer, symptoms often do not start until the disease has reached an advanced stage? Common general symptoms are unplanned weight loss, malaise, loss of appetite, fever, persistent fatigue, sweating at night, change of skin and chills.
