Cancer - General Questions


Cancer is a life-threatening disease, we all know, as it destroys healthy normal cells adjacent to its origin and so a killer disease.  Cancer may cause due to some environmental factors, such as smoking, radiation exposure, or any other occupational hazards, etc., But some get cancer even without the above-said environmental factors, for example, breast cancer or renal cancer, etc., Why? Is Cancer present at birth for those persons? Answer for this complicated question is YES. 

In some cases of cancer, some cancer factors are inherited in some families and so all the members or many of the members of those families are prone to get cancer.  This is because of inheritance of a particular cancer DNA materials present in all family members’ blood by birth.  For example, we can say breast cancer.  In some families, all the females are prone to get breast cancer generation by generation; it is only due to the inheritance gene factor. So we can say some types of cancers are INHERITED.

We also get a question regarding cancer is that whether it is an infectious disease with contagious nature like fever and cold, etc. The answer is NO.  No researches or any studies have not proved that cancer has the characteristic feature of an infectious disease by its spread and it will not spread from one person to other. Many studies have proved that when cancer cells injected to a normal person, did not produce cancer in their body, as normal people have a specific protection system in their body, which protects the cancer cells not to develop. So we can come to a conclusion that cancer is NOT A CONTAGIOUS disease.

Many think that once cancer is formed, it cannot be cured, and the person should die in a specific period of time.  But this is not true.  Cancer is healable disease if only it is noticed in the early stages.  If cancer is become aware in the beginning stages, it can be eliminated in its premature stage and so deep invasion to adjacent tissues organs could be prevented without further spread.

Nowadays, new radiation techniques are developing day by day and new anti-cancer drugs are discovered and manufactured worldwide.  The struggle to get full liberty from the grip of the cancer is continued.
