What is DNA?

Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule composed of two chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses.

Genetic factors

There are many factors in gene pathology, including family factors. This may be due to cytogenetic information. Some congenital diseases can be accompanied by abnormal chromosomes, thus increasing the chance of cancer.

Tumor causes

In addition, environmental factors such as frequent exposure to the sun will increase the risk of skin cancer; exposure to ionizing radiation or dangerous chemicals can also cause certain tumors. In addition, smoking, heavy drinking and long-term consumption of unhealthy foods can also increase the incidence of cancer.

Blood test

The presence or absence of a specific tumor marker can be checked from the blood to determine whether the tumor is present. However, sometimes the test results may have false positives or false negatives, which may cause difficulty in diagnosis.

Tumor tissue biopsy

 X-ray examination, ultrasound examination and computed tomography can distinguish the size and shape of the tumor. In addition, the tumor tissue can be directly extracted or cut for biopsy, and benign or malignant tumors can be distinguished under the microscope.
