The nature of cancer at a later age

The older a person gets, the more likely they are to develop cancer. While news regarding children or young people with cancer makes headlines, because they are often the most surprising cases, but contracting cancer at an early age is rare, according to the Cancer Research website.

One in two people will develop cancer during their lifetime, and one of the main reasons for this is aging.

Although half of cancer cases affect people over the age of 70, getting older does not mean that a person will definitely get cancer.

This is because cells in the body usually become damaged with age, and cells divide as usual, and it is also caused by things from outside the body, such as chemicals from cigarette smoke or ultraviolet rays from the sun.

Often, the body can repair this damage, but the damage may accumulate and can cause cells to grow and multiply more than usual, causing cancer.

Modern treatments currently available help fight cancer and increase the chances of survival, provided that the cancer is not in advanced and aggressive stages.

Cancer can be prevented at a later age by stopping smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, drinking less alcohol, and staying active and exercising.
