Managing and Treating Cancer
Cancer management and treatment require a
comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach
encompassing surgery, radiation therapy,
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted
therapy. The objectives are to eliminate or
control cancer cells, inhibit their growth and
spread, and enhance the patient's overall quality
of life.

Preventing Cancer
Cancer is a multifaceted condition, influenced by
genetics, lifestyle choices, environmental
exposures, and family history. Though not
entirely preventable, individuals can adopt
measures to lower their cancer risk. Maintaining
a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, a balanced
diet, avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol, and
staying mindful of environmental factors are some
ways to reduce the risk of cancer development.

Causes And Risk-Factors
Cancer risk is influenced by various factors.
Genetic mutations like BRCA1 and BRCA2 can
heighten the chances of breast, ovarian, and
other cancers. Environmental exposures to
tobacco, air pollution, radiation, and certain
chemicals can also contribute. Unhealthy
lifestyle choices, such as tobacco use, excessive
alcohol, processed/red meat consumption, and
sedentary habits, increase cancer risk. Chronic
inflammation from infections or conditions like
ulcerative colitis can also play a role. Family
history and immunodeficiency, like in HIV/AIDS
patients, can further elevate the risk of
specific cancer types.

About Cancer
Tumours in cancer are classified into three
groups benign, malignant, or precancerous.
Carcinomas, originating from epithelial cells
lining organs, are the most common type,
including breast, lung, and colon cancer.
Sarcomas arise from mesenchymal cells, forming
connective tissue like bone and muscle. Lymphomas
develop in lymphatic tissue, and leukemias stem
from blood-forming cells in the bone marrow.
Additionally, there are neuroendocrine tumours,
germ cell tumours, and skin cancers, with types
like melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers such
as basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma.
