CANCER IN TEENAGERS

Cancer is caused due to uncontrollable growth and division of cells in body. Cells generally grow, divide and at last die. However, in case of cancerous cells, they grow and multiply in an infinite manner thus giving birth to tumours. If detected early, it is easy to get hold of this disease, and people can lead normal lives after that.
It is still not much clear why cancer invades some people while others do not get affected at all. There might be some environmental, behavioural or genetic factors that are responsible for development of certain types of cancers in people. For instance, smoking can increase the risk of developing lung cancer. Too much sun exposure may lead to the development of skin cancer. Also, this disease is not contagious.
Although, teenagers are less likely to suffer from this disease, still certain cancers can affect young adults and teenagers as well.  Leukemia is one such common disease that can be detected in children. If caught on time, it can be cured if an effective treatment plan is employed.
Brain tumours are very common which have to be cured on time if you want to get rid of it completely. It can be treated surgically if it has not spread to other areas, or else, chemotherapy or radiation can also be put to use.
