Cancer, the most dreaded disease, refers to all malignant tumours caused by the abnormal growth of a body cell or a group of cells. It is today the second largest killer in the world, next only to heart ailments. The term covers more than 200 diseases.
There are billions of cells in the body which, under normal circumstances, develop in a well organised pattern for the growth of the body and the repair of damaged tissue. When cancer sets in, a group of cells start multiplying suddenly in a haphazard manner and form a lump or tumour. Cancer can spread very rapidly and eventually prove fatal, if not treated properly and in time.
The majority of cancers occur in the age group 50.-60. Sex does not determine the incidence of the disease though it does affect the site of growth. In men, cancer is usually found in the intestines/ the prostate and the lungs. In women, it occurs mostly in the breast tissues, uterus, gall-bladder and thyroid.
Symptoms: The symptoms of cancer vary according to the site of the growth. The American Society has prescribed seven signs or danger iyiiiti Ift ferine•! Tfthll h may indicate the presence of cancer, These are: a sore that does not heal; change in bowel or bladder habits; unusual bleeding or discharge; thickening or lump" in breast or elsewhere; indigestion or difficulty in swallowing; obvious change in wart or mole and persistent and nagging cough or hoarseness. Other symptoms may include unex¬plained loss of weight, particularly in older people, a change in skin colour and changes in the menstrual periods, especially bleeding between periods.
Cancers have a latency period varying from 5 to 40 years between the intial exposure to a carcinogen and the time the symptoms appear. In a large number of cases, either trivial symptoms are noted or there are none at all. One has, therefore, to be vigilant to recognise the first sign of the disease. The best way of diagnosing cancer is through a process called 'biopsy', in which a piece of suspect tissue is examined and tested under a micro¬scope.
Causes: The prime cause of cancer is not known. Certain cancer-causing substances, known as carcinogens, however, increase the chances of getting the disease. About 80 per cent of cancers are caused by environmental factors. Forty per cent of male cancers in India are linked with tobacco, a known cancer-causing agent. The consumption of pan, betelnut, tobacco and slaked lime has been linked with cancer of the tongue, lips, mouth and throat. Cigarette and bidi smoking and hukka puffing are linked with lung and throat cancers. Heavy consumption of alcoholic drinks can ca.use oesophagal, stomach and liver cancers. Occupational exposure to industrial pollutants such as asbestos, nickel, tar, soot and high doses of X-Rays can lead to skin and lung cancers and leukaemia.
Other factors contributing to cancer are viral infections, trauma, hormone imbalance and malnutrition. Many well-known biologists and naturopaths believe that a faulty diet is the root cause of cancer. Investigations indicate that the cancer incidence is in direct proportion to the amount of animal protein, particularly meat, in the diet. Dr. Willard J. Visek, a renowned research scientist explained recently a link between excessive meat-eating and cancer. According to him, the villain is ammonia, the carcinogenic by-product of meat digestion.
