Cancer annually kills about 9 million people worldwide. Such terrible statistics are voiced by WHO (World Health Organization). The number of cancer patients is constantly increasing. The problem has existed for a very long time. The first studies that have reached our time date back to 1600 BC. However, there are still questions and unsolved problems in the treatment of such patients.
Factors contributing to the development of oncology have been identified. This allows us to focus on cancer prevention. This approach to the problem reduces the risk of developing the disease.
Giving up habits that provoke cancer, proper nutrition, and an active lifestyle will help fight this problem.

Cancer prevention
Prevention of cancer and its consequences is aimed at reducing the likelihood of developing a malignant tumor and detecting it at the earliest stages of its appearance.
People with a hereditary predisposition, that is, the presence of cancer in close relatives, should undergo regular diagnostic examinations.
The search for systems in the body should first of all be aimed at those organs that suffered in the parents.
For this, it is indicated:
• Mandatory examination of the stomach, FGDS, if stomach cancer has recurred from generation to generation;
• Mammary glands, depending on age, mammography or ultrasound, in the case of surgery in the mother and grandmother;
• Dermoscopy, when skin cancer has been previously detected in the family, moles should be treated with particular attention.
Special examinations should be started in youth and done regularly. Also, as a primary test, a general blood test should be taken.
In people with an unfavorable heredity for cancer, it is important to monitor the presence of precancerous diseases, which include almost any chronic inflammation.
Adequate functioning of the immune system and the optimal rate of biochemical transformations are also of great importance.
To do this, it is important to eat right, give up bad habits and lead a healthy lifestyle with high physical activity.
Each person has his own idea of a normal rhythm of life. Over the years, certain habits are formed. Some of them are beneficial, others are neutral, and others can lead to serious adverse effects.
They can impair health, provoke the development of cancer. Such habits primarily include:
• Smoking;
• Drinking alcohol;
• Using medications unsystematically and without a doctor's prescription;
• Long exposure to the sun, frequent visits to the solarium, that is, a love of dark skin tone and intense tanning.
Smoking and cancer
Smoking tobacco significantly increases the likelihood of developing oncology. The most common localization of cancer caused by inhaling tobacco smoke is, of course, lung cancer.
But, in addition to this, scientists have confirmed the connection between smoking and the following types of cancer:
• Organs located in the oral cavity;
• Larynx and esophagus;
• Pancreas;
• Kidneys and bladder;
• Stomach and intestines;
• Cervix;
• Blood.
The reason for this effect is the chemical compounds contained in tobacco smoke. There are more than 10,000 of them. They have a simply toxic effect on the body, these include methanol, formaldehyde, hydrocyanic acid and others. Violation of biochemical processes leads to the possibility of genetic mutations. Other substances have a direct carcinogenic effect. These are benzene, formaldehyde, butadiene and others. Also, radioactive elements with carcinogenic activity are present in tobacco smoke. These include cesium isotopes, lead-210 and polonium-210.
The risk of cancer in smokers increases with the length of time they have had this bad habit in their life and is associated with the number of cigarettes consumed per day. The earlier this habit appeared and how many packs of cigarettes are smoked per day, the higher the risk of developing a malignant tumor.
Of course, it is optimal not to start smoking or to say goodbye to this habit as early as possible, but a person is weak and not always and not everyone can find the strength to do so.
In such cases, the effect of tobacco smoke on the body should be alleviated as much as possible. To reduce the possibility of cancer to a minimum, you need to:...
