With more finesse in medical and technological advancements, we have exposed our species and the ecosystem to great health hazards. Over the last 100 years, we have seen a significant threat to human health, which is the risk of cancer.

Our bodies are constantly evolving and modifying themselves to keep up with and adapt to the ever-changing environment, which is now evolving at a much faster rate. During this evolution process, a few mutations might be enough to change the DNA structure of your cells, leading to an anomalous and tumorous growth of cells, putting you at a risk of cancer development.

Causes of Cancer

Cancer is a multifactorial disease that can develop at any stage of life. The development of cancer takes place due to gene mutation in some cells. Gene mutation can be of two types:

1. Hereditary mutations that are present in all the cells of a newborn, and remains present throughout one
