Cancer cells cause damage by?
Cancer is a strange disease in that it is the body's own cells doing the damage. Normal cells have what is known as cell growth inhibition. This means the cells don't overcrowd each other and the cells are able to perform their function. Cancer is basically cells that don't have this growth inhibition. In fact, the cell is programmed so that all it desires to do is reproduce. As the cells grow rapidly, they form a tumor. This tumor does not do the function a normal cell would do, but instead takes nutrients and oxygen from the blood and use this to do nothing but reproduce. As the tumor grows, it overcrowds the normal cells and inhibits them from properly doing their job. For instance if a tumor is growing in the lungs, it can prevent the normal cells around them from intaking oxygen and exporting carbon dioxide. This eventually leads to organ failure. Not only can this be damaging to the organ the cancer cell started in, but if cancer cells enter the lymph system or blood stream, they travel to other body sites and begin a new tumor. This can lead to multi-organ failure, and eventually death. Fortunately there are many ways we can prevent cancer, such as not smoking, exercising, eating a proper diet, and receiving anual check ups from a doctor.
