Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There are various factors that affect the formation of cancerous cells in the body. The cancer cells can even develop due to the presence of certain viruses and bacteria but their percentage is less as compared to the other factors. The toxic chemical in the environment directly affects the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). These toxic chemicals are coal tar, benzene, asbestos, pesticides, and certain dyes. The other factors include tobacco, alcohol, and radiations. Diet and obesity cause around 30% of the cancers. Also, there are various internal factors that contribute to the cause of cancer.
