The cancerous cells divide uncontrollably in the body and have the capacity to break into (penetrate) and destroy the normal body tissues. These cancerous cells can then start dispersion all through the body at a later stage. The problem occurs because the normal body tissues cannot get enough resources to survive due to the consumption of these resources by the cancerous cells.

Cancer is activating by 'mutation' in the DNA of the cells of the body. A mutation is a damaging change that has occurs in the DNA. DNA of the cells is like an 'informative set of information about growth and division’. When this gets damaged, the cells have no proper instructions on growth and division, so they start growing randomly and multiplying in a disordered manner. This causes the onset of what is called ‘cancer’. Now this mutation can be caused due to a number of factors such as:

• Genetic tendency
• Virus Smoking
• Excessive drinking
• Being obese
• Skin damage caused by extreme exposure to UV radiation
• Unsafe sexual contact
• Certain harmful chemicals
• Some chronic health conditions such as Ulcerative colitis, Hepatitis C, etc can turn cancerous

These are just some of the many things that can trigger a mutation and initiate cancer in the body.
