Cancer is a potentially fatal disease caused mainly by environmental factors that mutategenes encoding critical cell-regulatory proteins. The resultant aberrant cell behaviour leads to expansive masses of abnormal cells that destroy surrounding normal tissue and can spread to vital organs resulting in disseminated disease, commonly a harbinger of imminent patient death. There are many kinds of cancer, but they all start because of out-of-control growth of abnormal cells.
This complex genetic disease is caused primarily by environmental factors. The cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) can be present in food and water, in the air, and in chemicals and sunlight that people are exposed to. Since epithelial cells cover the skin, line the respiratory and alimentary tracts, and metabolize ingested carcinogens, it is not surprising that over 90% of cancers occur in epithelia.
The causes of serious ill-health in the world are changing. Infection as a major cause is giving way to noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. In 1996 there were 10 million new cancer cases worldwide and six million deaths attributed to cancer. In 2020 there are predicted to be 20 million new cases and 12 million deaths. Part of the reason for this is that life expectancy is steadily rising and most cancers are more common in an ageing population. More significantly, a globalization of unhealthy lifestyles, particularly cigarette smoking and the adoption of many features of the modern Western diet (high fat, low fibre content) will increase cancer incidence.
According to the latest studies of galaxies on the food that there is a relationship between certain types of food and the spread of cancer, and also there are foods contribute to the reduction or prevention or even a cure, for example, fat and alcohol contribute to the emergence of cancer of the stomach and intestines, while vegetables and legumes and fiber reduces of its occurrence, and this is what we will discover through this humble research.
