How you get cancer?

Answer 1

The exact cause of cancer is unknown. Some think it is genetic, like Breast cancer. But just because someone in your family has cancer doesn't mean you do to, it often means you have a higher chance of developing cancer than a person who has no one in their family with it. There are things you can do that put you at a higher risk for certain cancer, examples are: smoking cigarettes increases the chance of lung cancer. For girls, if you get HPV, which is an STI, you may have an increased chance of cervical cancer. So in conclusion, there isn't a set way to get cancer or a set way to avoid it, just take care of yourself!
