What Causes Cancer and Why Daycare is Essential
Cancer is caused by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. These cells can form tumors, disrupt normal bodily functions, and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can be caused by various factors, including:
- Genetics: Inherited genetic mutations can increase the risk of certain cancers.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to tobacco, pollutants, chemicals, and radiation.
- Lifestyle Choices: Unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, and alcohol consumption.
- Infections: Some viral infections, such as HPV, can contribute to cancer development.
At Landmark Cancer Centre, our daycare services provide patients with an optimal care plan tailored to their needs, helping manage the symptoms and side effects of cancer treatments while promoting overall health and well-being.
