Although there is a lot of research done on genetic causes of cancer, as well as the identification of risk factors, these do not really identify a solid cause of cancer.  The risk factors for cancer given by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) name a lot of things that are correlated with increased rates of cancer.  But they also say that the majority of people with risk factors are not ever diagnosed with cancer.  So this makes the value of risk factors dubious, at best.

Otto Warburg, a prolific researcher and Nobel Laureate, found that low oxygen levels in cells cause them to become cancerous.  He also discovered that while normal cells function from aerobic (air loving) respiration, cancer cells generate energy from anaerobic respiration.  Some think that cancer is a survival mechanism that allows cells to live in a low oxygen environment. continue reading…

It has been reported that rectal cancer rates in people under 40 years of age have been steadily rising for the last 20 years.  Cancer researchers and scientists say that they are baffled about this, and have no real idea of why this is the case.

Colon cancer, and related rectal cancer, are thought to have similar risk factors, but colon cancer rates have been constant while rectal cancer rates have grown by about 4% per year.  This was reported in the journal Cancer.  What is most disconcerting is that scientists have absolutely no idea why this is the case.  Rectal cancer rates in older population segments have been increasing as well, but this increase is probably due to more frequent cancer screenings which leads to more cases being diagnosed. continue reading…

There are certain risk factors for pancreatic cancer.  These are:

• Age-most people diagnosed are over 60 years of age,
• Smokers-are 2 to 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer than non-smokers,
• Gender-men are 30% more likely to get this,
• Race-African American men are more susceptible to this disease than Asians, Hispanics, and Whites, continue reading…
