Hi Listers,
Cancer is caused by DNA damage in the cell. Many cancers will have
viruses associated with them. Some viruses act as the DNA damageing
force and other viruses act as promoters. All cancers are now known to
be genetic defects of the cell DNA.
Oxygen radicals are known "promoters" of cancer. They do not cause it.
It requires several things to happen. First damage must occur to the
DNA of the cell,this is usually repaired. Next the cell with the damaged
DNA must divide before repairs are made. The new cell now has damaged
DNA but doen`t recognize it and does not repair it. You don`t have
cancer yet. Next a "promoter" comes along and sensitizes the cell,
binding to the DNA and changing its fuction. You don`t have cancer yet.
Then an "initiator" comes along and causes more damage to the DNA. Now
you have a cancer. There are many promoters, oxygen radicals and viruses
are only two of them. Cancer is now know to be the result of genetic
damage to the cell (DNA damage).Most of the new knowledge is so recent
that any book older than 1996 is out of date and incorrect, when
disussing cancer. A good starting point to get up to speed would be *Its
Life Itself* by Boyce Rensberger, ISBN 0-19-510874-4.
Bless you Bob Lee
