Now this is weird. Why will my Body Kill Itself?

According to a recent study done by The Oncology Department Of New York, Cancers cannot be found in all parts of the body. A tumour can only be formed in a part/tissue, which favours its growth. Research E.g.: A Neoplasm cannot be found in Spleen (Because of its open sinusoidal blood pattern which does not allow tumour cells to stay in for long time in order to produce metastasis) According to a survey conducted by The Oncology Study & Research Group, Tokyo, Cancers can be inbound, or can be induced by some agents. They defined these agents as "Carcinogens"

Most common carcinogens which causes cancer are:

1. Anti-Cancer Drugs (Busulfan)

2. Epoxides

These agents induce Lymphoma & Bladder Cancer

1. Polycyclic Hydrocarbons- Cigarette Smoke, Tobacco, Fossil Fuel, Coal, Tar, Soot

These agents induce Lung Cancer (Bronchogenic Carcinoma) & Malignant Melanoma (Skin Cancer)

1. Betel Nuts (Supari)

It can cause Hepatoma-Cellular Carcinoma. In today’s scenario, it is inevitable to be safe from Polluted air, fossil burning and chemical pollutants. However, it is one's own choice to quit smoking and consuming tobacco, as these are cancer inducing agents. Most frequently in clinical setting, Chemotherapy is started as soon as a tumour is detected. The patient undergoes number of tests, including CT, MRI, PET to diagnose whether the tumour is benign or malignant. In cases of benign tumours, an oncologist prescribes drugs to destroy the tumour, under close observation. 

In cases of malignant neoplasms,

Radiation Therapy is started as soon as the tumour is diagnosed, duration depending on the condition of the patient. It is viable that Radiation Therapy will damage other normal body tissues as the radiation used ionising, but as it is said, "You got to lose something, to earn something" By- Dt.
