WHAT IS CANCER?
The word cancer is used to describe a group of diseases that can appear in any organ of the human body.
These diseases are characterized by the development of abnormal cells that grow uncontrollably due to the fact that there are important alterations in the mechanisms of regulation of cell growth.
To understand cancer, it is necessary to know a little about the cells that make up the tissues and organs of our body.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE
FROM CANCER?
The transformation of a normal cell into a tumor cell is a multifactorial process and usually consists of the progression from a pre-cancerous lesion to a malignant tumor. These alterations are the result of the interaction between the individual's genetic factors and three categories of external agents, known as carcinogens.
There are different types:
.
Physical carcinogens , such as ultraviolet and ionizing radiation.
Chemical carcinogens such as asbestos, components of tobacco smoke, aflatoxins (food contaminants), or arsenic (drinking water contaminant)
Biological carcinogens such as infections caused by some viruses, bacteria, or parasites.
About 30% of cancer deaths are due to five dietary and behavioral risk factors: high body mass index, reduced fruit and vegetable intake, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, and alcohol use.
Tobacco use is the most important risk factor, since it is the cause of more than 22% of cancer deaths in general, and around 71% of lung cancer deaths worldwide.
