I work in a lab with carcinogens. Many carcinogens cause damage to the genome or to the cell as a whole. When DNA is damaged (or mutated) in regions that are specific to cell growth, this can cause cells to grow out of control and lead to cancer. And cell damage simply increases your risk because the body is having to repair itself more often. This is why things like drinking and smoking can cause cancer.
Sometimes carcinogens are called mutagenic agents. These are the chemicals that cause mutations in the DNA.
