Informative Speech On Cancer

We as people face War and Disease everyday. So this means that everyday we all have something that is worth fighting for. Cancer is the war we face in our present times. Despite the fact that our people die to such disease, we spend more money for our own medical issues and needs. Even though Cancer is one of the leading causes of death within our nation, we strive everyday because everyone has something to live for. We should stand up to put an end to our pain and suffering. No one should walk miserable or mourn no more. According to research and theory it is proven that there are treatments for cancer as the war continues to move forward. Cancer is a problem that needs a solution.

III. Scientists may not know right now why cancer affects certain people but they do know that it has nothing to do with age or gender.

“One out of every four deaths in the U.S. is from cancer. About 1.2 million new cancer cases are diagnosed in the U.S. annually and about 564,000 Americans will die of it each year-- more than 1,500 people per day” (GrowthHouse). The real question is, what causes cancer? Is it all genetic or do things that we use in our everyday lives cause cancer? There are so many different ideas of what actually causes cancer. There has been a great deal of research in labs to see what increases the risk of someone getting diagnosed with cancer. Research has shown that the effects of chemicals in laundry detergent, sunscreen, hair dye and alcohol are possible causes of cancer.

b. Our cells are programed to know when to grow, divide, and when to die, with that said just like any other machine, if these “parts” within our DNA do not work then that is when our machine goes off track and starts breaking down.

Cancer is defined as a disease caused by an uncontrollable division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. Cancer can be caused by many variables in one’s environment and the variables that are more likely to cause cancer are often referred to carcinogens. Carcinogens are harmful factors that can increase one’s chance of developing a form of cancer. Carcinogens can be anything from ultra violet rays to dust particles from wood; tobacco is one of the most well-known carcinogens because it increases one’s chances of developing lung cancer by a stagger amount. The reason tobacco has the ability to make such an impact is because tobacco contains more than 70 carcinogens altogether. When it comes down to it, the carcinogens are all working together

Cancer can be caused by many factors. Some of these factors include: Genetics, Tobacco, Diet, Physical Activity, Sun Exposure, Radiation, and Other Carcinogens. Some types of cancer run in certain families, but most cancers are not clearly linked to the genes we inherit from our parents. Most people are unaware about just how much tobacco use accounts for of cancer related deaths. Even though cigarette use has decreased significantly there are still tobacco products that are highly popular. Vape pens, or electronic cigarettes are on the rise among former smokers and teenagers. Although believed to be healthier there is still nicotine, and unknown substances in the flavored liquid. Many people are also very unprepared when it comes to being outside for prolonged periods of time. Sunscreen is a necessity in order to protect oneself from the harmful UV rays. It is also very important to have regular checkups from a

30. Sling ‘Em Whether it’s your child, a grandchild, or you just love to hold any baby you can get hold of – do yourself a favor and put them in a sling. Hitching them to your hip only strains your back so distribute that weight as evenly as possibly. In fact, the same can be said for your shopping, while you may not be able to put it in a sling, you can distribute the weight more evenly.

What is Cancer? Cancer is many diseases which involve abnormal cell growth. Cancer cells are able to replicate and spread because they completely lose control and are not able to be restrained. These cells will then form to become tumors. There are two types of tumors called malignant and benign. The malignant tumor is the cancerous tumor. The benign tumors are much less destructive to the body. To tell the difference is quite simple, a malignant tumor has the ability to spread through metastasis causing the cancer to attack multiple areas, whereas the benign tumors cannot spread and are in most cases nonthreatening. Although there are numerous types of cancer, such as breast cancer, lung cancer, and kidney cancer, I chose to write about brain

According to American Cancer Society, in our bodies most people are born with two bean shaped organs, found attached to the back wall of the abdomen, these are called kidneys. As you grow in life your kidneys have multiple jobs, but the biggest job is that they act as a filter in your body. They will take in the blood and filter any substance not needed, such as excess water, salt, and other waste. Once the process of filtering anything bad begins, your kidneys will kick out what we know as urine. American Cancer Society says the kidneys will also “help keep your blood pressure controlled”, by making a hormone called, renin. Need more red blood cells? Don’t worry, your kidneys will make another hormone, known as erythropoietin, sending a message

Smoking has thousands of harmful chemicals. More than 43 are cancer causing.Some of theses harmful chemicals are nicotine,tar,carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen, cyanide, and arsenic. Many any of these chemicals are leaked to caner. Fungicides and pesticides are linked to birth defeats and many different

While there are several biological factors that have the ability to lead to cancer, genetics is the most currently researched. A study done by Bharaj, Scorilas, Giai and

Cancer I am going to inform my audience about cancer and the process the disease goes through in the human body. Cancer starts when cells in the body start to grow out of control. Cancer cells grow differently than normal cells. Instead of the cells dying the cancer cells will continue grow.

The cells that produce the pigment melanin that colors the skin, hair and eyes.Melanocytes also form moles, where melanoma often develops. Leukemia is a cancer of blood-forming tissues, hindering the body's ability to fight infection.Drinking alcohol can increase your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, larynx (voice box), liver, and breast.Doctors advise people who drink to do so in moderate amounts. Tobacco use is a leading cause of cancer and of death from cancer.Tobacco use causes many types of cancer, including cancer of the lung, larynx (voice box), mouth, esophagus, throat, bladder, kidney, liver, stomach, pancreas, colon and rectum, and cervix, as well as acute myeloid leukemia. People of all ages and skin tones should limit the amount of time they spend in the sun, especially between mid-morning and late afternoon, and avoid other sources of UV radiation, such as tanning beds. It is important to keep in mind that UV radiation is reflected by sand, water, snow, and ice and can go through windshields and windows.Substances and exposures that can lead to cancer are called carcinogens. Some carcinogens do not affect DNA directly, but lead to cancer in other

increase the risk of developing cancer, but we rarely know exactly which combination of factors

It’s October of your fifth grade year, at the end of the day. You’ve gotten back into the swing of things, your teacher is awesome, and you’re at the top of the elementary school food chain. You’re about to walk outside. The weather is beautiful; the trees are still mostly green with a few ambitious leaves already changing color. The sky is blue and the sun is shining in the way it only does during fall. You’re going to remember how it felt to walk across the parking lot on that day for a long time. You’re happy, like you normally are when you leave school, and you get in the car. That’s when Mom tells you your little brother has cancer.
