Cells Going Bad Cause Cancer

Cancer: When Cells Go Bad

What's so wrong with wanting to watch cells go bad? Seems fairly harmless, right? Truth of the matter is you're facing some pretty nasty stuff called cancer when cells start behaving badly. Cancer remains America's Number 2 killer and afflicts 50% of all men and 33% of all women (Source: American Cancer Society).

If you could choose between finding a cure for cancer or a cure for mental illness, which would have the biggest impact? The cure for mental illness would affect more Americans than the cure for cancer. In fact, more Americans are diagnosed with mental illness than cancer. Still, the race for the cure for cancer is on and in full force.

That being said, what cancer do Americans think is the most prevalent? If you asked the average person, the answer might be breast cancer. While breast cancer gets a lot of press coverage, skin cancer is the most diagnosed cancer today. Along with skin cancer and breast cancer, the other top cancers found in Americans according to the American Cancer Society are:

* – Prostate cancer
* – Colon and rectal cancer
* – Endometriosis cancer
* – Kidney cancer
* – Leukemia
* – Lung cancer
* – Melanoma
* – Pancreatic cancer
* – Bladder cancer
* – Thyroid cancer

Is cancer genetic or environmentally driven? While most cancers are programmed into – our genetic makeup, many cancers lie under the radar and do not rear their ugly head until you expose them to factors that will set them off. For this reason, if you can avoid certain situations or behaviors that can subject your system to negative consequences, you may never know in your lifetime that you carry cells that want to go nuts.

How do cancer cells develop? A cell in the human body is programmed to do certain functions for you and then eventually die off and be replaced. But when a cell turns cancerous, it doesn't shut down properly but rather goes off and multiplies. As these bad cells multiply, they can turn into a cancerous tumor. The cells keep multiplying and it is very hard to arrest the cancer and stop this uncontrolled cell growth.

The cancerous cells don't always stay contained in one room. They sometimes travel through organ walls and float through the bloodstream until they can destroy or take over other areas. Leukemia, for instance, is a cancer that travels through the blood rather than originating from an organ.

There are two ways to get rid of cancer. The first is never to get it in the first place. By living properly and taking care of yourself, you can eliminate most of the risk factors for cancer. Some of the risk factors for developing cancer are smoking, lack of physical exercise, stress and exposure to harmful chemicals. If a person gets cancer, treatment options have come a long way in the last fifty years. Surgery to remove the cancerous tumor is usually an option. Surgery is generally followed by chemotherapy or radiation treatments.

If you have risk factors for cancer, think about changing your habits. For more information about cancer go online to the American Cancer Society web site.
