Cancer is a complex group of diseases, and its causes are often multifactorial. However, two significant factors that can contribute to the development of cancer are: Genetic Factors: Inherited genetic mutations can increase the risk of certain types of cancer. These mutations can be passed down from parents to children and may predispose individuals to a higher likelihood of developing specific cancers. Environmental Factors: Exposure to certain environmental factors can contribute to the development of cancer. This includes exposure to carcinogens, which are substances or agents that can promote the formation of cancer. Carcinogens can be found in pollutants, tobacco smoke, certain chemicals, radiation, and some infectious agents.
