The basic causes for most cancers are unknown. However, the causes of certain cancers have been identified: overexposure to untraviotet rays of the sun, excessive radiation, smoking cigarettes and contact with curtain chemicals. It is generally accepted that cigarette smoking is the major cause of lung cancer in the U. S. Lung cancer death rates, for example, are 10 times as high among regular cigarette smokers as among those who never smoke. With heavy smokers- two packs or more a day- die death rate is 20 times as high. Studies show that smokers also are more likely to have cancers of die mouth, throat and bladder. The exktene suggest that the more tar and nicotine you inhale, the greater your risk of developing lung cancer. THE CHOWAN HERALD However, there ie no such thing as a “safe cigarette”.

As far as hag cancer ia concerned, da death rate te higher in ciues; me me auierence is relatively small when compared with the dif ference in death rates between cigarette smokers and non-smokers. A few types of cancer are inheritable. The moat common types are not. However, in some of da common types, there is what is known as a‘familial tendency"- a tendency for da particular type of cancer to occur with greater frequency among members of a particular family, than the population at large. Ha family members not only include parents and children, but also cousins, uncles, aunts, grand children, etc. Cancer can be discovered through a complete physical examination. There are seven warning signals of cancer which can be recognised by anyone. They are: 1. Change in bowel or bladder habits; 1 A sore dat does not heal; 1 Unusual bleeding or discharge; 4. Thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere; 5. Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing; 8. Obvious change in wart or mole; and 7. Nagging cough or hoarseness.
