Tumors and Cancer
A tumor is a lump formed due to the excessive growth of body cells. This condition occurs when old cells that should naturally die continue to survive, while new cells are continuously produced.
Tumors can develop in any part of the body and are categorized into two main types:
Benign Tumors:
- Do not invade surrounding tissues.
- Do not spread to other parts of the body.
- Generally harmless but can cause issues if located in critical areas.
Malignant Tumors (Cancer):
- Aggressively invade healthy surrounding tissues.
- Can spread to other organs through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
- Requires immediate treatment as it can be life-threatening.
What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease caused by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. These abnormal cells can damage surrounding healthy cells and spread to other parts of the body.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. It often leads to death because the disease typically doesn’t show symptoms in its early stages. As a result, it is usually only detected and treated after it has reached an advanced stage.
Causes of Cancer
The primary cause of cancer is genetic mutations in cells, leading them to grow abnormally. The body actually has its own mechanism to destroy these abnormal cells, known as NK Cells (Natural Killer Cells). However, when this mechanism fails, abnormal cells will grow uncontrollably.
The factors that can trigger cancer cell growth vary depending on the type of cancer. However, no specific type of cancer is triggered by just one factor.
Factors believed to increase the risk of genetic mutations in normal cells and the body’s failure to repair them include:
- A family history of cancer
- Age over 65, although some cancers are more common in children
- Smoking habits
- Exposure to radiation, chemicals (such as asbestos or benzene), or sunlight
- Viral infections, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HPV
- Long-term or high-level hormone exposure
- Obesity
- Lack of movement and irregular exercise
- Diseases causing chronic inflammation, such as ulcerative colitis
- A weakened immune system, such as due to HIV/AIDS
Utsukushhii Gold plays a vital role in fighting cancer cells by reactivating the body’s natural killer (NK) cells. Its key ingredients, Salmon Oncorhynchus Keta and Takara Kombu Fucoidan, provide essential support for cancer patients undergoing treatment, helping to enhance the body’s defense mechanisms and improve recovery.
