Cancer cells

Cancer Cells are the building blocks of all living things. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn’t need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is very rapid and sometime they donot die. There are different kinds of cancers. 

Kinds of cancer

Cancer can develop in any organ or tissue, such as the blood, lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue. 

Causes of cancer

Detection of Esophageal cancer

Esophageal cancer

 Esophageal cancer develops in cells that line the food pipe, which connects the throat to the stomach. It is difficult to diagnose.The problem with esophageal cancer is that symptoms and the disease is fairly advanced and the prognosis is usually poor. Mcm5 is a protein, which plays a major role in cell division. High levels of the protein mean cells are dividing uncontrollably.Current tests rely on a pathologist analyzing cell changes through a microscope. But as the new test is chemical in nature it could be making it suitable for screening large numbers of people.

Relation of cancer and Brisk walking 

Vigorous exercise and brisk walking have been significant benefits on cardiovascular health, diabetes and many other diseases. 

Link between hight and cancer 

 There is a link between greater height and increased total cancer risk . Total cancer risk increased with height, as did the risk of many different types of cancer. The types of cancers which increased along with height include cancers of the breast, ovary, womb, bowel, leukaemia, and malignant melanoma. 
Environmental effect on hight 
Environmental influences that may cause an individual to grow taller, such as childhood diet and infections or growth hormones, may be involved. For every 10cm of height, the risk of cancer increased by 16 per cent.But most people are not a lot taller than average and their height will have only a small effect on their cancer risk.
