Chemoprevention

Cancer begins when healthy cells change and grow without any control. This forms a mass called a tumor. It takes years to  process of a healthy cell becoming a cancerous. And many genetic, dietary, and lifestyle factors, such as smoking, are the main causes of this process. Cancer chemoprevention uses some substances in order to stop cancer from developing. Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, ranking second in economically developed countries. With several forms of cancer being poorly controlled through treatments, which themselves have serious side effects, and with the unavoidable limitations of cancer screening programs, chemoprevention and its potential have generated much hope and interest during the last decades. Chemoprevention may involve perturbation of a variety of steps in tumour initiation, promotion and progression. Numerous potential mechanisms have been described and attempts have been made to broadly classify agents according to the effects they have on different stages of carcinogenesis.
