What is the basis for occurence of cancer??
Answers: Sandyboy,
There are about 200 different types of cancer affecting all the different body tissues. What affects one body tissue may not affect another. For example, tobacco smoke that you breathe surrounded by may help to cause lung cancer. Over exposing your skin to the sun could offer you a melanoma on your leg. But the sun won't give you lung cancer and smoking won't give you melanoma. Apart from infectious diseases, most illnesses are 'multifactorial'. Cancer is no exception. Multifactorial channel that there are many factor involved. In other words, there is no single cause for any one type of cancer. The factor involved in “cancer” are many and include, Carcinogens. Age. Genetic variety up. The immune system. Diet. Day to day environment. Viruses.
ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.

Cancer forms from the mutation of otherwise healthy cells. Most of the time when cell mutate, our immune systems destroy them. In cases of cancerous cells, they mutate and after spread so fast that our immune systems can't keep up beside them or our immune systems aren't strong enough for whatever plea to destroy them in plentiful cases. Cancer can and will occur in simply about every organ in the body and even surrounded by our blood. Cancer can even occur in the heart although it is EXTREMELY unlikely and is the most unlikely place for cancer to develop. So vitally, cancer doesn't just occur surrounded by certain places in the body, it can and does transpire anywhere in the body. The word "cancer" is an umbrella term for frequent different malignancies caused by different things. The specific area/organ affected have to do with the type (and cause) of the abberancy.
Compare the occurrence of skin cancer next to Strep infection: skin cancer affects skin and often the underlying tissue. It does not affect the brain. Streptococcal infection usually affects the throat and/or upper respiratory system, not a skin wound.
Cancer happens when regular cells change so that they grow within an uncontrolled way. This uncontrolled growth causes a tumour to form.
Nobody know what causes this to happen.
That's the most frightening article about cancer - nobody knows what cause most cancers. Cancer affects the healthy and the unwell alike. Smoking has been coupled to lung and some other cancers and excessive sun exposure to skin cancers. Up to 10% of cancer are hereditary. Other than that, not a whole lot is specified...
You already have a suggestion that diet is responsible for cancer; there is no food or diet that have been proven to cause or contribute to cancer - or to cure or treat it any.
It's often less frightening for ancestors who haven't had cancer to 'blame the victim' - that is, to blame cancer on avoidable lifestyle factor like bad diet, stress, famine of exercise etc - than it is for them to accept that cancer is a largely random disease that can strike any of us at any time.
The cooperation you've been given in the first answer is outstandingly unhelpful as it refers to thoroughly discredited ideas nearly alkaline and acid foods. This article gives the facts: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRela...
Many of us who hold been diagnosed with cancer believed that our athletic diets and lifestyles would protect us. Now we know better.

read the link - it talks something like how you can prevent cancer through diet - therefore it suggest some cancers are diet related!
indubitable types of tissues are more succeptable to abnormal growth...
also as we have more and more unnatural chemicals surrounded by our lives we open the door for more and more cancers
eg. motor exhaust, cigarette smoke, candles, perfumes.
Any unhealed wound/injury, over a longer period of time is the source of cancer. In an unhealed wound/ulcer, the immune system strives to disagree out the infection and the injured cells convert themselves into pus. if pus formation is continuous, these putrified cells mutate into cancer cell.
Nagative thinking, regular consumption of deep freezed meat/fish after deep fry, drinks beside overdose of insecticides,stored/packed perishable foods in aluminium foils, hormonal imbalance shall exploit as spring board for the growth of malignant cells/cancer cells. but, alternative medicine option are available even for cancer and HIV/AIDS too.Nothing to be panic with best compliments from www.saioam.com Certain factor - genetic,environmental have affect cells within body & cause mutations.This can lead to cancer.Heredity have a role in some cancers.Smoking have important role
