Cancer – a large group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells
Neoplasm – new growth of tissue that serves no physiological function
Tumor – clumping of neo-plasmic cells Malignant - cancerous Benign - noncancerous Biopsy – microscopic examination of cell
development

Metastasis – malignant tumors that are not enclosed in a protective capsule have the ability to spread to other organs
Mutant cells – disruption of RNA and DNA within normal cells may produce cells that differ in form, quality and function from the normal cell

What Causes Cancer?
Lifestyle
Environment
Family History

Cancer arises from the mutation of a normal gene. Mutated genes that cause cancer are called
oncogenes. It is thought that several mutations need to occur
to give rise to cancer Cells that are old or not functioning properly
normally self destruct and are replaced by new cells.
However, cancerous cells do not self destruct and continue to divide rapidly producing millions of new cancerous cells.

Lifestyle Risks Smoking
Diet high fat and low infruits and vegetables
Lack of exercise
Unprotected exposure to the sun, (UV) rays
Obesity

Inherited Risks Less than 15% of
cancers are inherited Gene mutations are
linked to some inherited cancers
Cancers that may be caused by inherited gene mutations are:◦ Colon cancer◦ Breast cancer◦ Ovarian◦ Prostate cancer◦ Skin cancer

Environmental Risks
Second hand smoke Air pollution Industrial pollution Chemical exposures

Skin Cancer The ABCD’s of melanoma (skin
cancer):
◦ Asymmetry: one half is not like the other
◦ Border: the edges are jagged or irregular
◦ Color: the color is varied, tan, red, black etc.
◦ Diameter: the diameter is larger than 8mm (the top of a pencil eraser)

Ionising radiation – X Rays, UV light
Chemicals – Tar from cigarettes
Virus infection – Papilloma virus can be responsible for cervical cancer.
Hereditary predisposition – Some families are more susceptible to getting certain cancers. Remember you can’t inherit cancer its just that you maybe more susceptible to getting it.
Carcinogens

Being overweight or obese increases risk of several cancers including colon and breast
Two – thirds of men and half of women in Britain are overweight
An estimated 13,000 cases of cancer could be prevented each year in the UK if no one had BMI greater than 25

Sodium nitrate when ingested forms a potential carcinogen, nitrosamine
Sodium nitrate is still used because it is effective in preventing botulism
Pesticide and herbicide residues
Chemicals In Foods

Avoid Smoking or Chewing Tobacco
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the US
Second hand smoke affects everyone

Fruits and Vegetables Decrease Cancer Risks
Cancer rates could decline by up to 20% if everyone consumed 5 fruits and vegetables a day!*
Cancer fighting substances:◦ Antioxidants◦ Dietary fiber◦ Arytenoids◦ Flavanoids
*American Institute for Cancer Research, 1998.
