Cancer Scholarly Journals
A
scholarly journal is a periodical that contains articles written by experts in a particular field of study. The articles are intended to be read by other experts or students of the field and are usually much more sophisticated and advanced than the articles found in popular magazines.
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal
cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. These contrast with benign tumours, which do not spread. Possible signs and symptoms include a lump, abnormal bleeding, prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss, and a change in bowel movements. While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they can also have other causes. Over 100 types of cancers affect humans. Tobacco use is the cause of about 22% of
cancer deaths. Another 10% are due to obesity, poor diet, lack of
physical activity or excessive drinking of alcohol. Other factors include certain infections, exposure to ionizing radiation and environmental pollutants. In the developing world, 15% of cancers are due to infections such as Helicobacter pylori,
hepatitis B,
hepatitis C,
human papillomavirus infection, Epstein–Barr
virus and human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These factors act, at least partly, by changing the genes of a cell. Typically, many genetic changes are required before
cancer develops. Approximately 5–10% of cancers are due to inherited genetic defects from a person's parents
