Cancer (oncology)

Carcinogenesis: theories and stages

It has now been established that cancer, or malignant neoplasm, is a disease of the genetic apparatus of a cell that is characterized by prolonged chronic pathological processes, or, more simply, carcinogenesis, which has developed in the body for dozens of years.

Carcinogens: what is it and what are they?

The emergence of tumors is the result of the interaction of carcinogenic factors and the body. According to the World Organization (WHO) estimates, cancer is 80-90% associated with environmental factors. Carcinogens constantly affect the human body throughout his life.

The role of hormones in the development of cancer

Hormones, like carcinogens, affect the cell both through the body (indirectly) and directly, exerting a direct effect on its genetic apparatus. Hormones contribute to the reduction of antitumor immunity, resulting in favorable conditions for the development of malignant neoplasms.
