Do you have a predisposition to cancer?

In today's world, the diagnostic capabilities of medicine make it possible to identify risk groups for cancer. Knowing about predisposition to cancerous tumors is necessary for timely diagnosis and fighting the disease. If you are in a risk group, it does not mean that you will get sick.

Who can get cancer? No one is 100% protected from this disease, but some people are at a higher risk.

People who have cancer should pay attention to their health:

• Harmful habits;
• Overweight;
• Weakened immune system;
• Aggravated family history of tumor disease.

How does cancer arise? It can result from the interaction of various genetic factors with certain categories of external factors:

• Physical (ultraviolet radiation);
• Chemical (elements of tobacco smoke, poisonous substances contaminating food);
• Biological (infections sourced from certain viruses, bacteria or parasites).

The disease itself develops in several stages. There are 4 of them:

stage 1: the tumor is small and is located only in the organ which it formed in.

stage 2: the tumor is large, but the cancer has not yet begun to spread to surrounding tissues.

stage 3: the tumor has begun to spread to surrounding tissues and lymph nodes.

stage 4: the cancer cells have spread from where the tumor originated to another distant organ.
