How do People get Cancer?
sa
Have your parents ever felt really sad but they never tell
you why? It drives me crazy when that happens!
Sometimes the reason is that someone you know and
really love passed away. One of the reasons they might
pass away is because they have cancer. Cancer is a fancy
word for diseases. There are so many types of cancer that
people can get. So we all have to treat our bodies with
care and respect.
Some of the most common type’s cancers are
Prostate Cancer, Skin Cancer, Melanoma, Breast Cancer,
and Bone Cancer. Most people who have Prostate are
men and it is occurring a lot in the West. Skin Cancer is
most prevalent in the US, so people living here have to be

What causes
Melanoma?
Not cleaning skin
and sun
exposure.
careful. Melanoma is most common with teens
because they don’t clean and take all of the bad things
out of themselves like oil. Another thing that causes
Melanoma is Sun exposure, so don't stay out in the sun
too long. Breast Cancer is most common in women, but
some men can have it too. Those are some of the most
widespread cancers so you might want to be aware!
Sometimes we wonder how people get cancer.
You get cancer when your DNA is damaged. Your cells
start to grow out of control. Your DNA directs your cells’
actions. One of the worst things is that the cells start to
invade other tissues! What that means is that cells start
to go in different parts of your body when they are not
supposed to. Sometimes, these things can happen due
to smoking and sun exposure. Try to stay away from
these things.
When doctors see you have cancer they
obviously know the difference between cancer cells
and normal cells. Here are some things cancer cells
do. They don’t stop reproducing and don’t stick
together. They stay immature and don’t obey other
cells. That means they keep going crazy and don’t
listen to other cells. The worst thing of all is that they
don't die! The healthy cells just move around regularly
and don't cause any commotion. Sometimes there is a
slight chance cancer can go away. That is only when
you get a treatment right away. So always go to the
doctor when you are feeling really weird. You don't
want to take any chances.
In conclusion I feel that cancer is a very sad and
serious matter and we have to be careful with it. There
are many types of cancer we can get so we have to
treat our body with care and respect. So, are you
taking care of your body?
