Each year World Cancer Day is 
marked on 4th February. The pur­
pose o f this day is to make people 
more aware o f the disease and how 
it can be treated. It is also meant to 
encourage people to look for early 
signs o f cancer and learn what can 
de done to prevent it.
Cancer can start in any part of 
the body. Like other living organ­
isms, the human body is made up of 
many millions o f cells. These cells 
have different jobs to do. Often they 
become worn out and die. New ones 
replace them. Cancer is when some 
cells ‘lose control’ and keep grow­
ing. N o one knows why this hap­
pens. The continually growing cells 
crowd out the healthy ones. This 
causes problems in the part o f the 
body where the cancer started. Once 
cancer cells start to grow, they can 
spread to other parts o f the body.
Cancer can affect anyone. It 
does not matter if a person is rich 
or poor, young or old or where in 
the world they come from. There 
are over 100 types o f cancer. The 
five most common cancers that af­
fect men are: lung, stomach, liver, 
colon, and throat. In women it’s: 
breast, lung, stomach, colon, and 
cervix (or cervical). Nowadays, 
if the signs are found early, most 
cancers can be treated. All health
experts agree on the best ways to 
reduce the risk o f cancer. These 
are: eat a healthy diet; don’t smoke; 
drink only a small amount o f alco­
hol; and do physical exercise.
Some cancers can spread quick­
ly. Others are slower. M ost form 
a lump, or growth. This is called 
a tumour. However, not all lumps 
are cancer. If a lump is cancer it is 
called malignant. If it is not cancer 
it is known as benign (pronounced 
be-nine). Some cancers do not 
form tumours. Leukaemia is an 
example. This is also called cancer 
o f the blood.
Humans have always had cancer. 
It is not a new disease. Animals and 
plants can get cancer too. Old human 
bones have been found with tumours. 
Signs o f cancer are often found in 
Ancient Egyptian mummies. The 
oldest written record o f cancer is 
about 5,000 years old. It comes from 
Ancient Egypt and describes several 
cases o f breast cancer.
The first person to use the word 
cancer was Hippocrates. He was an 
Ancient Greek physician, or doctor, 
who lived 2,400 years ago. Hip­
pocrates is often called the ‘Father 
o f M edicine’. Today, when doctors 
first start work they have to make a 
pledge, or promise. The pledge is a 
version o f an ancient text called the 
Hippocratic Oath. It’s believed that
