CANCER. Cancer: Caused by a mutation in a gene that codes for a checkpoint protein. The cell loses control over cell division and so divides at a rapid.

Mitosis Cells divide for us to have structures, so we can grow, and we can heal

Cancer Comes From You!!! What its Not: What it is: A virus A bacterial infection Magic What it is: Mostly incurable Debilitating Deadly Comes From You!!!

Your Cells Gone Crazy! Normally the DNA in a cell tells it when to stop dividing but when the DNA is damaged it just keeps going!

How it Kills You All 3 Stop Important Bodily Functions! Obstruction Produces harmful signaling molecules Destroys Immune system All 3 Stop Important Bodily Functions!

Prostate Cancer Cases 17 million cancer deaths a year by 2030 b/c of smoking (United nations cancer agency)

What Causes It Radiation (UV and X-Rays) Mutagenic Chemicals (Industrial, from bad diet, or Tobacco Smoke!!!) Hereditary Mutations (From Mom and Dad)

Will We Get A Cure?! Why its so hard to: Each Cancer is as unique from the others as people are from each other. The cells in your body have different functions and act in different ways. So do the different Cancers they give rise to.
