Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases that can affect the human body. The disease causes abnormal growth of a mass, the tumor with the abnormal division of cells. Cancer often takes a very long time to get detected and when the disease has reached an advanced stage, it’s very difficult to cure the disease.
While there’s no specific cause for the disease, there are several risk factors that increase the chances of being afflicted with cancer. However, avoiding these risk factors doesn’t necessarily ensure immunity from cancer.
