How a normal cell becomes cancer!

I think Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. During the early years of a person's life, normal cells divide more quickly until the person becomes an adult. After that, cells in most parts of the body divide only to replace worn-out or dying cells and to repair injuries.

Cancer cells develop because of damage to DNA. This substance is in every cell and directs all of the cell's activities. Most of the time when DNA becomes damaged, either the cell dies or is able to repair the DNA. In cancer cells, the damaged DNA is not repaired. People can inherit damaged DNA, which accounts for inherited cancers. Many times though, a person’s DNA gets damaged by things in the environment, like,chemicals, viruses, tobacco smoke or too much sunlight. ]]> Wed, 08 Oct 2008 05:00:52 +0000 http://healthforum.allnutri.com/forum_posts-tid-126-pid-272.htm http://healthforum.allnutri.com/forum_posts-tid-126-pid-271.htm Author: Albert

Cancer is a disease which needs to be tackled with understanding and comfort. It is a situation where your grandfather needs your warmth and that special touch to make him feel better as the medicines cannot work this way. My friend told me about http://www.dearcancer.org/where cancer patients can share about them, what they feel, their thoughts, their experience and their problems related to it. I think this will help your grandfather to be more relaxed and write and share the things he is concerned about.

Anything that damages the genes in our cells can ultimately cause cancer, but a number of genes in the same cell need to be damaged before a cell becomes cancerous.

The vast majority of cancers are caused by DNA damage that accumulates over a person's lifetime ('sporadic' cancer). Cancers that are directly caused by genetic faults inherited from a parent are rare. For example, for every 20 cases of breast cancer, only one will be caused by an inherited mutation.

Things that can damage DNA include chemicals such as those in cigarette smoke, and radiation like ultraviolet (UV) light. People who have an unhealthy diet also seem to be more likely to develop cancer, although quite how a bad diet is linked to cancer risk is still a mystery. There are even some viruses are linked to cancer.

    * DNA damage and its consequences
    * Carcinogens
    * Lifestyle
    * Inheritance and familial cancer
    * Other risk factors

Cancer is easier to treat and cure if the disease is diagnosed early. Because of this, a huge amount of effort has gone into developing methods to detect early signs of the disease. This section deals with the methods that doctors use to find out if someone has cancer.]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 04:54:43 +0000 http://healthforum.allnutri.com/forum_posts-tid-123-pid-268.htm http://healthforum.allnutri.com/forum_posts-tid-124-pid-267.htm Author: ketty

Cancer treatment


There is no single treatment for cancer - doctors have a range of options available and must decide which is best for the patient. They will often combine several types of treatment for greater effect, taking into account all sorts of factors.

For example, the patient's age, history and lifestyle are very important in deciding on the best treatment. Doctors will involve the patient in the decision as much as possible.

Cancer Research UK is funding research to develop a new generation of highly specific cancer treatments.

There are currently many different ways to treat cancer.


    * Surgery
    * Radiotherapy
    * Chemotherapy
    * Hormone therapy
    * Immunotherapy
    * Gene therapy
