  • The fat cells in the body are active and produce proteins and hormones that are released into the bloodstream and carried around the body, as they spread through the circulation the fat cells can affect many parts of the body. This can increase the risk of several different types of cancer such as breast, colon, rectum, endometrium, esophagus, kidney, and gallbladder cancer.

  • The process that responds to bad tissues that need to be heal but with chronic inflammation it responds when there is no injury and doesn’t stops when needed to. It causes an infection that doesn’t goes away and creates diseases such as ulcerative colitis and crohn disease which causes colon cancer.

  • Cancer is caused by changes to certain genes that alter the way our cells function. Some of these genetic changes occur naturally when DNA is replicated during the process of cell division. But others are the result of environmental exposures that damage DNA. These exposures may include substances, such as the chemicals in tobacco smoke, or radiation, such as ultraviolet rays from the sun.

    The most common form of cancer, being sun cancer, is caused by a particular form of radiation called UV rays. Also known as ultraviolet rays, this form comes from the sun and can cause blistering, poisoning, and even cancer.
    When many people think of atomic radiation, they can associate it with cancer. How does it cause cancer though? Atomic Radiation is a carcinogen, and low doses over time damages DNA.

    Immunosuppression is the suppression of one’s immune system, making them more susceptible to sickness, disease, and cancer. Some pharmaceutical drugs can weaken the immune system, making the person more susceptible to cancer. In fact, chemotherapy, which is supposed to help fight off cancer, is an immunosuppressant.
    Adding on, some diseases are also immunosuppressants. HIV is the most common immunosuppressive disease. HIV targets the cancer-fighting cells which makes the person more likely to get it.

    Can infection cause cancer? In some more rare cases, bacteria can cause chronic inflammation or produce carcinogenic bacterial metabolites, which can cause cancer. 
    Chronic Inflammation- Inflammation that if untreated, can last for several months or even years.
    These infectious agents are very dangerous, because they are very contagious, so they can easily spread from person to person. This can almost be called a “contagious form of cancer.”
