This reason is found in Cancer More Elderly

Often cancer cases are found when someone elderly , for example, 40 years and over . Are the older a person more susceptible to cancer ? It turns out that's not why . This occurs because cancer requires phases to develop.

" There are four phases , namely cancer induction phase , a phase in situ , invasion phase , the dissemination phase , " said Chairman of the Association of Oncology Indonesian PP ( POI ) , Dr. Drajat Ryanto Suarsi , Sp.B ( K ) Onk in a press briefing held by the PP and the POI Novartis about Breast Cancer Expert Forum with the theme of Transforming Advanced Breast Cancer at the Molecular Level in Pullman Jakarta Central Park Hotel , and was written on Sunday ( 22/12/2013 ) .

The first phase is the induction phase , which typically run for 15 years . Second , in situ phase where the cancer cells have already occurred but have not been anywhere or penetrate the membrane . The third phase , a phase where the invasion began to emerge 2-3 years . Fourth , the current phase of the dissemination of the cancer cells have spread to other organs , dna requires 2-3 years as well .

"So if induced at the age of 20 years , then it could only discovered at the age of 35 or 40 years , " said Dr. Drajat .

The occurrence of cancer is influenced by two factors namely internal and external . Internal factors, namely genetic . Note however that does not mean that cancer is genetically passed down from parents . So far, only 5 percent of breast cancer cases occur due to genetic . While 95 percent is not because of genetics.

While external factors include biological , chemical , and physical . " Biological factors one of which is designated certain bacteria or viruses . Usually because there are external exposure , the cells were turned into cells kankerm " said Dr. Drajat .

While factors include exposure to chemical preservatives or dyes that too much . For physical factors , such as exposure to ultraviolet light is evil . UV rays are a type of evil is a beta , was hot on the skin because of its wavelength infrared wavelengths approaching .

" Exposure to excessive estrogen also increases the risk . If continuous exposure over 6 years , can increase the risk . So if hormonal contraceptive is recommended after a few years changed the IUD or the other . Also need a good diet . Cancer that many influential factors . Included endurance and lifestyle , "said Dr. Drajat
