Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body, cancer is really not an incurable disease, the point there is to detect it early, and there are over two hundred (200) types of cancer.
The three most common cancers in men, women, and children are as follows:
• Men: Prostate, lung, and colorectal
• Women: Breast, lung, and colorectal
• Children Leukemia, brain tumors, and lymphoma
We will be counting down to top 7 causes of cancer

  1. Heredity: research has shown that less than 0.3% of earth population actually have a cancer gene in them that is transmittable and this result in less than 4-11% of cancer population worldwide.
  2. Chemicals: we all know that being exposed to radioactive substance increase the rate of having some malign growth in the body, but what do you have to say to those material and substances that aren’t looking that bad but they are deadlier than the so called radioactive itself, and this substance exist in our foods, drug, microwave, appliances and offices, these substances are called Carconigens. Tobacco is just like any other substances taking to refresh the body as the smokers does but research has shown that it causes over 90% of lung cancer and it contain over 50 known carcinogen : namely Nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The menace of tobacco as a major cause of lung cancer is intriguing because despite different advert made on billboards people still take this funny ways to die.

  3. Exercise and Diet: A research was done in Oxford University in the late 90’s which shows the rate having cancer being related to height and body mass index, the research says for every increasing 10cm height directly increases the chance of having cancer by 16%, obesity itself is related to 30-35% of cancer deaths all thanks to junks foods, more than half of the effect from diet is due to over-nutrition rather than eating too few vegetables or other foods.
  4. Hormones: these are important agent in sex-related cancers : breast cancer, endometrium, postrate, ovary and testis are all directly related to our hormones
  5. Autoimmune System: the fingers can’t be equals and we have different immune system, this is related to celiac diseases
  6. Daily/work Routine: it is a well known fact that depriving oneself of sleep and good rest can trigger the rate of having cancer
  7. Vitamin Deficiency and Infections: 18% of cancer death are infection related and it ranges from 10% in the developed world.
