The Science of Cancer and the Preventable Mechanisms Behind It
Cancer is one of the most morbid killers across the globe, and its obliteration has been the focus of thousands of studies over the past 250 years. And while the vast majority of cancers are caused by a myriad of ineluctable factors, such as growth and inheritance, over a third of cancer deaths are attributable to multitudinous preventable causes, such as poor lifestyle choices, contraction of certain viruses, usage of tobacco and alcohol, among other factors. As such, this presentation seeks to explain the underlying mechanisms of cancer, along with the precise means by which these preventable carcinogenic factors promote its emergence.
