Types of Cancers based on their origin
Leukemia“Liquid” cancer, or cancer that originates in the bone marrow that produces blood cells, and white blood cells. White blood cells are essential in fighting off infections, and foreign pathogens that enter the body.

Types of Cancer based on their origin
LymphomaCancer that originates in the lympathic system, which is the internal lining of your body. Lymph nodes, lymphocytes, and many other types of lymphatic components help to purify body fluids, and to produce infection fighting agents such as white blood cells, etc.

Can cancer be prevented?
The real answer is NO. Dietary and Lifestyle changes CAN AID in preventing your chances of getting cancer. Genetics play a VITAL role in the production of cancer in future generations (but not always the case)Environmental factors play a very important role in the development of cancer.
