Work, Life and Cancer

How is cancer because of work and many other factors we can control?

Good question and an answer will depend on work and lifestyle.

Here is what the CDC says:

Based on the well documented association between occupational exposure and cancer, it is estimated that about 20,000 cancer deaths and 40,000 new cases of cancer each year in the United States can be attributed to occupation.

Millions of U.S. workers are exposed to substances that are tested as carcinogenic in animal studies. However, less than 2% of chemicals in commerce have been tested for carcinogenicity.

Cancer is a group of different diseases that have the same features, the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. Each different type of cancer can have its own set of causes. Many factors play a role in the development raka.Važnost these factors is different for different types of raka.Osobe risk of developing certain cancers affecting combination of factors that act in ways that are not fully understood. Some of the factors are:

• personal characteristics such as age, gender and race
• Family history of cancer
• Diet and personal habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption
• The presence of certain medical conditions
• Exposure to carcinogens in the environment
• Exposure to cancer-causing agents in the workplace

In many cases, these factors may act together or in sequence to cause cancer.

from a percentage point is estimated that approximately 5-15% of cancers were due to exposure to chemicals at work or significantly contributed to the work of exposure, which may be animate or inanimate exposure. Health workers, for example, are at risk of primary liver cancer related to hepatitis B and C. Much depends on your specific type of work.

over the range 5-15%, however, is not firm. You will see many internet sites, in particular law firm web site, to place percentages total more veći.Raspon is an approximation, and lung cancer rates are likely to be on the high side, offset by lower prices for other organe.Rizik cancer affects not only exposure, but the lifestyle and genetic factors, a fact clearly seen when identical twins have found a development of specific cancers and the other two escaped with cancer.

Haz-Map, the service of the National Library of Medicine, gives a slightly different estimate:

In developed countries, 30% of cancers attributed to diet or nutrition, tobacco 16%, 8% to infection, 5% to occupational exposures, 2% to environmental pollution, and 39% to other causes. [Global Cancer Facts and Figures 2007, p. 4] "Of course, the exposure to carcinogens is not due to variations in the external environment (eg air, water, radiation) so as to differences in lifestyle (eg, reproduction, nutrition, smoking).

So, nobody is really sure how much the cancer from work and it is obvious that the very profession. Quite obviously, those occupations that require the handling of known carcinogenic chemicals are at the greatest risk. It is not reassuring to discover that very few industrial chemicals has been studied especially for their potential to cause cancer. As a result, a list of known cancer causing (carcinogenic) is surprisingly short. It was compiled by the U.S. National Toxicology Program and periodically reviewed. IARC, International Agency for Research on Cancer, has almost the same list of suspected and known cancer-causing chemicals.

Smokers suffer an inordinate amount of work related to cancer effects may not add to the risk when combined with work exposure, but actually be synergistic or multiplying. Perhaps the best example of this is lung cancer in asbestos workers. Or smoking or asbestos (or yourself) significantly increases the risk of lung cancer, but with increased risk of lung cancer at least 30 times. Smoking remains the single biggest preventable cause of premature death. It is more harmful and dangerous effects on all organs of the body and is connected also kidney and bladder cancer. It seems that promotes the growth of colon polyps that, if unchecked, can lead to colon cancer.

finding of an unexpected increase in breast cancer in night workers seemed inexplicable to the time when it was first reported several years ago. Now most likely answer seems to be that night workers are exposed to the sun less than a day radnika.Link here is probably Vitamin D, which is required for vitamin D is produced in the skin to sun exposure. It then suggests that vitamin D alone is to blame. Some studies suggest the risk of other internal cancers growing in night workers, but more work must be done to solve the problem, but again, tampering with the normal rhythm of life can result in some very unexpected results.

that not all cancers listed by the government in the list of suspected or known carcinogens report shows increased cancer such as lymphoma in farmers who use lots of pesticides. Also, hair color similar to the suspect for lymphoma. Probably some chemicals to promote, but do not directly cause cancer. But one thing we know from research over the past 50 years has been the leading cause of premature death, that is something more that we have control.

is an effort of cancer prevention and avoidance of cancer-causing or cancer promoting chemicals on the one hand and inclusion in our diet those foods that prevent rak.Internet quest for cancer-preventing foods will show a substantial list of beneficial foods and spices, but the second search worst foods for pesticide may encourage you to either have your own garden or take into account the organic source for the worst offenders. Thorough cleaning will help reduce pesticide residues. Most people who search out the best food will almost automatically use less fat in their diet, another problem area for cancer.

of hepatitis B and C are associated with later liver cancer, avoiding the risk of lifestyle-related hepatitis is important. Health care workers can reduce the risk of cancer from hepatitis with cjepivom.Novo vaccine for sexually transmitted papillovirus (HPV vaccine) has a striking range of potential cervical cancers. a significant dent in the incidence of prostate cancer.

Just following up will dramatically reduce your cancer and heart disease risk, the main causes of premature death.
