Abstract

Cancer is becoming widely spread in recent years. It is considered one of the feared diseases that threaten human life. Cancer had many predisposing factors that include environmental, lifestyle and physiological factors that would contribute as a carcinogenesis. This current review aims to explain the etiology of cancer of either genetics or environmental causes.
