begin, cancer is caused by uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. There a various types of cancer that can form in a person 's body. Renal, liver and digestive cancer would be discussed in this passage. Renal cancer also known as kidney cancer, occurs when the cancer cells form in the tubules of the kidney . Smoking, hypertension, and obesity are some of the high risk factors associated with renal cancers. Staging describes how the cancer has spread and according to America Cancer Society…

transformation, apoptosis, cellular differentiation, adhesion, fetal development, inflammation, and immune response. In normal homeostasis, STAT tyrosine phosphorylation is short-term, lasting from 30 minutes to several hours, where as in numerous cancer cell lines and primary tumors it is in contrary to that of normal homeostasis. It takes place due to the deregulation of positive effectors of STATs activation, such as upstream tyrosine kinases (JAK, TYK), or repression of negative regulators…

Cancer harms the body when altered cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissues called tumors except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream. What is cancer is you might ask cancer is uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body which cancer develops when the body’s normal control mechanism stops working and old cells do not die and cells grow out of control, forming new, abnormal cells and the…
