I can consider doing early screenings to make sure I don’t have cancer. This would allow me to know earlier if I have cancer or not.

Tobacco is widely known to cause cancer in the lungs and mouth. Tobacco can be smoked or chewed. Both methods cause cancer.

Tobacco negatively affects cancer treatment and can cause adverse effects. It reduces the effectiveness of chemo and can cause adverse effects with radiation.

To prevent cancer of the lungs and mouth, don’t chew or smoke tobacco. Also, do not second hand smoke.

1. there are more than 100 types of diseases known collectively as cancer. What they all have in common is the overgrowth of cellstiny units that make up all living things. Cancer occurs when cells begin to grow and multiply in an uncontrolled way.

2. Doctors tend to use more intense treatments when treating children and teens with cancer than when treating adults. Children’s bodies are often better able to recover from more intense treatments, such as higher doses of chemo than are adults’ bodies. And childhood cancers often respond better to chemo. This is because they tend to be cancers that grow quickly, and chemo works better against fast-growing cancers.

3. Promoting protective behaviors. Completing the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series. Eating a diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Getting enough physical activity.Reducing harmful exposures. Avoiding intentional tanning. Quitting smoking and other tobacco use. Preventing underage drinking.

1. Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms.

2. Inherited genetic mutations play a major role in about 5 to 10 percent of all cancers. Researchers have associated mutations in specific genes with more than 50 hereditary cancer syndromes, which are disorders that may predispose individuals to developing certain cancers.

3. I could see if any of my family members have had any issues with cancer in the past

1. Marijuana is a plant that has two types of chemicals in it THC and CBD.
2. THC is what causes the high and it can help pain and nausea CBD tho can help seizures and anxiety, paranoia. Smoking marijuana can ruin your lungs however but there is edible marijuana. Many people with cancer have used marijuana to help treat there nausea and vomiting from chemo.

Question 3:

I can avoid heavily processed foods such as those from fast food places and I can eat more vegetables and fruits. I can also avoid foods that have been linked with cancers such as:
- red meat
- alcohol
- salted fish
And foods with chemicals such as those in the list from the below link. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/general-info/known-and-probable-human-carcinogens.html

Question 2:

Cancer prevention and treatment is thought to be substantially impacted by a person’s diet. A person already diagnosed with cancer may be told to avoid certain food groups at risk of creating an environment where the cancer will spread further, and people who do not have cancer may wish to avoid similar foods that may increase their chances of developing cancerous cells. There are four types of possibly carcinogenic compounds in food. The first and second are naturally occurring products. However, the difference between the two is that the first cannot be avoided in foods and the second could possibly be reduced/eliminated in the processes of food production. An example of the first would be when fish is salted, and an example of the second would be a certain chemical that is in grains but can be avoided through better grain storage processes. The third and fourth types are concerned with additives in food, either to add color or add longevity to the food’s shelf life.(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2782753/)

Question 1:

Carcinogens are substances that are capable of causing cancer in living tissue. There are some foods that have been linked to certain cancers, such as processed meats and other foods that are linked to diseases, such as obesity, which can be linked to higher rates of cancer.(https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/diet-and-cancer/food-controversies)

Smog over cities. Polluted drinking water. Chemicals in food. Poor air quality. These are just a few exposures in the environment that may cause cancer.  environmental factors account for around 70-90% of cancercases.
When it comes to environmental factors that raise the risk of cancer, it may seem like avoiding exposure is as impossible as avoiding the air you breathe. In reality, though, you have more control than you think. Experts say you can lower your cancer risk simply by making strategic lifestyle changes or taking conscious measures to reduce your exposure.
To avoid environmental cancers I will reduce my uv light exposure and be more cautious with the foods I eat.

Alcohol is an ingredient found in products such as beer, wine and spirits that causes drunkenness. Alcohol is formed when yeast ferments breaks down without any oxygen the sugars within  different foods.

Alcohol has been known to cause some cancers such as mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, colon, and breast cancer Alcohol is probably also increases the risk of you getting stomach cancer and might affect the risks of some other cancers it’s more of the more alcohol you drink with these the better it’s going to cause your cancer consuming the smallest amount of alcohol can be a risk but most people use it to enjoy it typically the effects it has on your body weight is whether how much you are overweight or obese will likely increase the risks of many types of cancers you have and they also may have long-term health effects from drinking alcohol such as liver damage and effects on mood

I’m currently employed at a bar and I deal with alcohol and all sorts of booze I am allergic to most of the stuff in alcohol because it contains barley so I am not allowed to have that stuff because of medical reasons so and also it’s an expensive hobby to drink it should be only used for safety purposes but I don’t plan on drinking and I plan on staying away from it mostly because it’s not healthy and there’s a cleaner source of refreshment for your body
