-How cancer is formed ?
As we said before cancer is the meaning of the tissues and cells that grow out of control. So instead of dying, these cells continue to grow and form new cells which is called abnormal cells. The damaged DNA cells aren't repaired but it goes on forming new cells that the body doesn't need. The new formed cells have the same damaged DNA as the first abnormal cell does. These cells have also the ability to grow into other tissues and it is something that the normal body cell cannot do. Therefore that’s what create a cancer cell inside the human body.
The abnormal DNA can be inherited by people as it could be passed on from their parents. Occasionally the damaged cells occur due to a mistake that happened while the normal cell is reproducing or by something from the …show more content…
These changes can happen spontaneously or they may be effected by other factors as : nuclear radiation ,X-rays, Gamma-rays, viruses, bacteria and fungi, parasites, heat, chemicals in air, water, food, etc. These factors can cause mutation and changes that might start cancer. Therefore cancer can be called as "Entropic Disease" as it is associated with the increase of the entropy of the organism to the point where the organism cannot correct it self. External intervention is necessary to allow the organism to return to a stable entropic state. But it is difficult to know exactly the reason of cancer occurance.
In some cases, cancer cells form a tumor which can replace normal tissues over time. Some types of cancer like leukemia rarely form a tumors but it attack the blood and the blood forming organs and circulate through other grown
