Introduction
Cancer is a generic term generally used in reference to malignant neoplasms. See neoplasm.
Classification
- genetic classification of malignant neoplasms may better estimate prognosis & facilitate treatment[12]
Etiology
risk factors
- risk of cancer in different tissues is correlates (0.81) with the total number of stem cell divisions[26]
- 2/3 of cancers due to bad luck[26]
- smoking & other tobacco use causes about 30% of all cancer-related deaths in the USA
- smoking in association with asbestos exposure increases risk of lung cancer & mesothelioma
- radiation therapy is associated with lifelong risk of cancers originating in the irradiated field
- alcoholic beverage
- although not carcinogenic, associated with risk of cancer in the upper respiratory tract as well as hepatocellular carcinoma in the setting of cirrhosis
- responsible for about 3.5% of all cancer deaths in the U.S. in 2009[10]
- infectious agents may be associated with cancer
- genetic predisposition
- defects in tumor suppressor
- defects promoting autonomous traverse of the cell-cycle
- both early-onset & late-onset cancer in a parent is associated with excess risk for the same cancer in offspring[8]
- taller women may be at greater risk for many cancers
- includes colorectal cancer, breast cancer, melanoma
- lung cancer is not included[15]
- work stress is not a risk factor[11]
