CANCER
Cancer, one of the most destructive diseases to the bodies of animals, is a condition where unwanted cells in a specific part of the body expand and massively reproduce. The objective of cancer cells is to destroy all the surrounding healthy tissues. The disease begins to harm the body when damaged cells divide wildly to create lumps or crowds of tissue called tumors (Leukemia is different as it forbids regular blood function by irregular cell division in the blood). The dangerous cells then spread to other parts of the body, and that process is called metastasis.
Metastasis is the process of which cancer cells spread from the prime effected sight and effect other portions of the body. Cancer cells have the ability to break away from …show more content…
Prostate cancer only effects males because women don’t have a prostate gland. The prostate gland is roughly the size of a golf ball, and it is positioned between the bladder and the penis, in front of the rectum. Symptoms of prostate cancer include challenging and painful urination, having to urinate often even when the bladder is empty, lessened strength of urination stream, blood in the urine, and pain in the back or hips. Prostate cancer usually happens in men 55 and over. African American males are more prone than other races to get prostate cancer, but it is still advised that all males get their prostate checked often as it can still affect any one. According to Kirby, R. S., and Manish I. Patel, “to reduce mortality in men with prostate cancer, heart-healthy lifestyle choices must be made. These include improving lipid profiles, decreasing obesity and increasing physical fitness.” (p. 26) If prostate cancer runs in the family, you have a greater chance in receiving the disease without proper prevention techniques such as exercising and a healthy eating …show more content…
Lung cancer happens when abnormal cells grow in the lungs at an uncontrolled rate. The purpose of the lungs is to give oxygen to the body, through the blood, and when the cells connect to the tissue and cultivate, the cells begin to create tumors which prohibits the proper functioning of the lung. There are two types of lunch cancers which are non-small lung cancers, which is the most common type, and small cell lung cancer which effects a less amount of people. The difference between the cancers are that non-small cell lung cancer spread slower versus small cell lung cancer. The symptoms of lung cancer consist of coughing or coughing up blood, mucus, or phlegm, shortness of breath, harsh sounds with each breath, changed sound of voice, pain chest, shoulder, or back, repeated lung problems, and or color change or volume to
