Cancer is a group of diseases in which abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and may invade or spread to other parts of the body. It can affect almost any tissue or organ.
Firstly, it occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the body. Because of this rapid and unchecked growth, it can damage tissues and organs. Moreover, certain lifestyle habits such as smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise significantly increase the risk. For example, tobacco use alone is responsible for a large percentage of lung cases.
On the other hand, adopting a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk. In addition, early detection through regular screenings improves treatment outcomes.
Therefore, awareness and education play a vital role in prevention. In conclusion, while remains a major health challenge, understanding its causes and taking preventive steps can make a meaningful difference.
