The substances that cause cancer are called carcinogens. A carcinogen may be a chemical substance, such as certain molecules in tobacco smoke. The cause of cancer may be environmental agents, viral or genetic factors.
We should bear in mind, though, that in the majority of cancer cases we cannot attribute the disease to a single cause.
We can roughly divide cancer risk factors into the following groups:
biological or internal factors, such as age, gender, inherited genetic defects and skin type
environmental exposure, for instance to radon and UV radiation, and fine particulate matter
occupational risk factors, including carcinogens such as many chemicals, radioactive materials and asbestos
lifestyle-related factors.
Lifestyle-related factors that cause cancer include:
tobacco
alcohol
UV radiation in sunlight
some food-related factors, such as nitrites and poly aromatic hydrocarbons generated by barbecuing food).
