There is almost no one on the planet who’s never heard of the word “cancer.” So many lives, hopes, families, and goals have been lost as a result of this dreadful disease. Even though we try our hardest to eat well and be healthy, this disease has established a stronghold in our unhealthy lifestyles. While there are more effective and advanced methods for detecting, treating, and curing cancer today, the number of individuals affected by this terrible disease is, unfortunately, on the rise.

Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This field of healthcare aims to prevent cancer by teaching people about the need of taking precautions, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and supporting people in reducing their exposure to risk factors such as cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, pollution, as well as other forms of hazards (cancer-causing agents).

About Oncology

Our way of life, no matter how progressive, is a complex of harmful habits, bad behaviors, and much more. And most of these factors only increase the chances of developing cancer. For instance, we are all aware that smoking is one of the leading causes of cancer, and many of us continue to practice this harmful behavior.

Some of the most common reasons for cancer germination and development are:

  • Tobacco: Smoking or chewing tobacco directly damages the lungs, mouth, larynx, esophagus, bladder, throat, liver, kidney, stomach, rectum, colon, and cervix, and also heightens the chances for acute myeloid leukemia.
  • Alcohol: Alcohol clubbed with the habit of using tobacco, is beyond lethal and induces a high chance of cancer.
  • Obesity: Obesity can lead to cancer of the breast, colon, rectum, endometrium, esophagus, kidney, pancreas, and gallbladder.
  • Age: Old age holds a high potential for cancerous cells to house the body.
  • Cancer-Causing Substances: Certain alterations to genes may also induce a high risk of cancer.
  • Infectious Agents: Agents like onco-viruses, bacteria, and parasites, can cause cancer.
  • Immunosuppression: A weak or damaged immune mechanism may also lead to threats of cancer.

Some of the most common types of cancer are:

  • Breast cancer
  • Cervix cancer
  • Head and neck cancer
  • Ovarian cancer
  • Lung cancer
  • Colon & Rectal cancer
  • Endometrial cancer
  • Brain cancer
