In order to work the body has 11 main organ systems, and their daily roles are as follows; the integumentary system main job is to protect and support, acts as a sense organ, regulates the body temperature, and makes hormones and chemicals in the body. The skeletal system main work is to protect and support, and stores minerals make blood cells in the marrow, ease movements with (muscles and joints). The muscular system helps maintain posture, bring about body movement and produce heat in the body. The nervous system enables a person to interact with the habitat and it also controls and integrates the body. The endocrine system is tasked with releasing into the blood system hormones that assist with integrating, communication and control mechanisms. The circulatory system helps with establishing immunity and the transportation of substances through the blood (Moore,Keith.,Dalley, et al, 2010).

The lymphatic system functions as a subdivision of the circulatory system. Its main function is to monitor the fluid movements, and it’s also vital in the body defense mechanism. It also helps with returning excess fluid back to the blood. The respiratory system converts oxygen from the air for the carbon dioxide waste product in the blood. The digestive system absorbs nutrients, breaks down food, and excretes solid waste. The waste products are cleaned from the blood by the urinary system as urine while also maintaining water balance, electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance within the body. The reproductive system allows sex cells transfer and fertilization to occur, produces sex cells, permits the development and birth of children, produces sex hormones, and nourishes offspring’s.

Three of the most common types of cancer in the human body system include: Carcinomas, which are the most noticeable types of cancer, and they are responsible for an approximate 85% of all the diagnosed cases. They mainly mature in the epithelial cells that line the internal organs with the body. They can further be sub-divided into four main groups namely; adenocarcinomas which attacks the gland linings, squamous cell carcinomas that affect the airways and mouth linings, basal cell carcinomas that affect the skin, and transitional cell carcinoma that attack the bladder.

Lymphomas and leukemia’s which account for an approximate 7% of all cancer cases. They are grouped together because they both produce in the immune system cells. Leukaemias increase in myeloid system cells that protect the body from parasites and bacteria. While the lymphomas cancer develops within the lymphatic system, which is tasked with helping the body prevent infections.

Sarcomas account for less than 1 % of all diagnosed cases making them one of the rarest types of cancer. They are found within the connective tissues and can be further divided into three other sub-types. Gastro-intestinal stromal tumors that affect the intestine and the stomach, bone carcinomas that attacks the bones, and soft tissue sarcomas that mainly attacks soft connective tissues such as fat and muscle (Siegel, Ma, Zou, &Jemal, 2014).

Malignant tumors can be described as being cancerous, and they are mainly made from cells that that have grown wild or out of control. In these tumors, cells can invade nearby tissues and extend or spread to other body parts. Often cells migrate away from the main or primary cancer site and spreads to other bones and organs where they can form another tumor and continue to grow at that place. With that overview, the difference that it has with a benign tumor is that they are not thought of as harmful. In addition unlike the above cancer they can be removed and not re-grow back lastly, benign tumors are not known to immigrate and spread to other body parts.

It has for long perplexed even doctors why some patients selectively develop cancer. They have deduced that there are certain elements within our environment and biology that heighten infection chances some of these include; tobacco, poor diet, overweight, or lack of physical activity, growing older, alcohol, sunlight, and family history of cancer. Ionizing radiation certain hormones, chemicals some bacteria and viruses. Many of these listed risk factors can be controlled or avoided. Others such as family history cannot be controlled(Nijhawan, Zack, Ren, et al, 2012).

Expert analysis points out that in 10 cancer cases 4 can be prevented. People’s chances of drastically reducing cancer can be increased by a few simple lifestyle adjustments. Avoiding exposure to smoke or smoking which is responsible for most of the cancer cases. Knowing your family medical and personal history of cancer is important to know which type of cancer you are most susceptible to. Cancers like ovarian, colon, breast and other possibly hereditary. Getting regular cancer screening tests is also useful not only in preventing but also detecting it. Tests like Pap smear and colonoscopy can identify any abnormalities before they turn serious. Limiting or regulating intake of animal fat and red meat that increase the risk for some of the cancer types especially the colon cancer. Alternatives like poultry and fish over red meat is a sure way of cancer prevention. Since obesity that is a risk factor for cancer is caused by excess intake of fatty food avoiding them can be extremely helpful with the cancer mitigation (McCracken, Olsen, Chen, et al, 2007).
