Nursing care for Cancer
What is Cancer?
Cancer is a disease when a few of the body’s cells grow out of control and spread to other bodily regions. In the millions of cells that form the human body, cancer can develop practically anywhere. Human cells often divide (via a process known as cell growth and activity) to create new cells as the body requires them. When old cells pass away due to aging or damage, new ones take their place.
The systematic mechanism is typically interrupted during growth, causing the cells to dissolve. The damaged cells eventually start to become more abnormal, which prevents them from dying and negates the need for new cells to form. These extra cells consequently continue to divide unregulated, resulting in tumor-like growth.

What causes Cancer?
Changes (mutations) to the DNA within cells are what lead to cancer. A cell’s DNA is organized into numerous distinct genes, each of which carries a set of instructions directing the cell’s performance of certain tasks as well as its growth and division. Additionally, scientists now know that molecular alterations can cause cancer to develop. Different kinds of cancer frequently contain specific mutations, which are characterized by genetic changes that are thought to be the cause of these abnormalities.
Is there any cure for Cancer?
Although there is no known treatment for any type of cancer, there are some options. Many people receive cancer treatment, live their entire lives, then pass away for other reasons. Even though they may have received cancer therapy, many other people still die from the disease and pass away, often for years or even decades.
What are the risk factors for cancer?
As earlier mentioned, several cancers, especially in adults, have been linked to frequent exposures or risk factors. There have been theories on the processes and risk factors that lead to cancer, including:
- a personal or family history of cancer

- Obesity
- Alcohol
- certain compounds, some viral diseases, like the human papillomavirus (HPV)
