Cancer can occur anywhere in the body. Any area of the body that you can name can be the target for a cancer. Some cancers even arise in parts of the body that contained structures only when the person was just an embryo - just week after conception! Cancer cells - those abnormal cells that have lost the ability to stop growing - arise from cells that used to be normal components of organs and tissues. What causes cells to become cancerous? Cells grow abnormally because of environmental factors (such as cigarette smoking or radiation exposure), a genetic predisposition, "dumb luck", and as yet unexplained causes. Just "dumb luck" accounts for the majority of cancers.
