How Carcinogens Cause Cancer

The current belief in medical research holds that most cancers are caused by exposure to carcinogens, and that carcinogens cause cancer by damaging DNA. However, the huge effort and billions of dollars invested by the NIH, private foundations, and pharmaceutical companies in searching for damaged DNA in cancer has produced few discoveries and little benefits to the public.

Cancer

Cancer is the generic name for more than 100 specific diseases, all of which are distinguished by the rampant or uncontrolled growth of abnormal body cells. The condition has been known since antiquity. In the contemporary developed world, it is a major cause of death, killing an estimated 33% of the population. Deaths largely occur in the 55-75 age group, but cancer also affects younger people and children. The organs or body parts vulnerable to cancer are the brain, mouth, larynx, throat, oesophagus, lungs, breasts, stomach, pancreas, liver, bladder, spleen, prostrate, womb, ovaries, esticles, colon, rectum, skin and blood. In other words, virtually every internal organ! Read more...

Breast cancer

The breast is a gland designed to make milk. The lobules in the breast make the milk, which then drains through the ducts to the nipple.Like all parts of your body, the cells in your breasts usually grow and then rest in cycles. The periods of growth and rest in each cell are controlled by genes in the cell's nucleus. The nucleus is like the control room of each cell. When your genes are in good working order, they keep cell growth under control. But when your genes develop an abnormality, they sometimes lose their ability to control the cycle of cell growth and rest.

Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells.
Cancer has the potential to break through normal breast tissue barriers and spread to other parts of the body. While cancer is always caused by a genetic "abnormality" (a "mistake" in the genetic material), only 5? 10% of cancers are inherited from your mother or father. Instead, 90% of breast cancers are due to genetic abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and life in general. Read more...
