Human Health - Cancer

[Roland]

This post is the tribute to our fallen/sick friends from around the world cause by this natural illness called "Cancer" we all know that there's various types of cancers in every parts of the human body, but why do we even have Cancer cells in our bodies? is it a curse button? is it some kind of glitch in our body? how can these various types of cancer can be cured?

Let's discuss about it in our own perspective way on how we see cancer and how it's cured or removed.

Cancer is actually a malfunction in a cell's DNA, if the DNA is damaged too much, the cell dies but if the DNA is partly damaged, it had a chance of becoming a cancer cell which divides uncontrollably. Normally the cell would have the cell division limit which is the Hayflick limit in telomerase, it gets shorten as it divides until it reaches it's critical length then it stops dividing then dies shortly but in cancer cell, telomerase does not limit the cell division limit because of the active enzymes which lengthen's the telomerase is the reason where cancer cell divides without limit (or with barely a limit).

This is why chemicals and radiation (there are other factors too but this is the main example) can cause cancers, it alters the DNA which could cause the cancer or the cell's death, eventually death to us.

Does cancer can cause Hereditary/genetic issues to our body?

Not really, I guess it is impossible or very hard for that to happen.

Yes, that's right it is a form of mutation, a random genetic phenomenon.
