How Cancer Develops in the Body

Today, many Health Organisations advocate that smokers are liable to die prematurely, owing to the fact that there are lifestyles that can cause certain diseases which include cancer. Thus, it is vital to realize the extent to which cancer can be developed in the body in respect of your lifestyle.
 
Cancers come in various forms, but the two most common ones are lung cancer and mesothelioma. Each of the two forms of cancer has been rated as one of the deadliest diseases in today's society. This is because both lung cancer and mesothelioma are generally believed to be almost incurable. Of a truth, mesothelioma is the most deadly of all forms of cancers.

More so, both kinds of cancer are generally associated with smoking. It has been found out that chain-smoking is the major cause of lung cancer. In the United State alone, around 80% of mesothelioma cases that are diagnosed arise from smoking habits. Therefore, cigar, tobacco and cigarette smoking are quite dangerous to your health. Such habits greatly enhance the possibility of the development of cancer in the body.

Because smoking involves the inhalation of chemical substances that are toxic to the respiratory organ and their tracts, an environment that favours the development of cancer, either lung cancer or mesothelioma, arises and grows over a long period of time.

It should be understood that smoking directly causes lung cancer. In the same vein, it has been argued that smoking does not cause mesothelioma, but it provides a toxic environment for its development. That is, smoking rapidly promotes mesothelioma growth.

If the smoking of cigar, cigarette and tobacco is stopped at a stage prior to the formation of lung cancer, the chances of having the disease will be minimized, and body metabolisms will help to restore affected tissues to normal forms.

Another striking point is that if you are living with a smoker, you are more than likely going to develop lung cancer. This is as a result of passive smoking. It is also amazing that someone who is a passive smoker has a higher risk of developing cancer compared to the smoker!

In addition, here are some other causes of cancer:

1. Lack or low amount of fruits and vegetables in one's diets (This increases cancer risk).
2. Living with a mesothelioma patient.
3. The presence of arsenic in drinking water.
4. Exposure to radioactive elements.
5. Smoking of marijuana cigarettes.
6. Asbestos exposure (Asbestos can cause mesothelioma as well as cancer of the lungs' lining).

Finally, every effort should be made to stop a smoking lifestyle whether you have been diagnosed to have lung cancer/mesothelioma or not. Also, you should be conscious of other ways by which cancer can be developed and avoid them as much as possible.
