How Cancer Develops
Apoptosis Mutated or damaged genes
Proto-oncogenes Normal regulatory genes
Oncogenes Mutated or damaged proto-oncogenes
Tumor suppressor genes Regulatory genes slow cell division, TS genes may be turned off, damaged, or
mutated in cancers

Most Cancers Are Preventable
Know family history Get regular medical screenings Learn self-examination techniques Avoid direct sunlight 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
sunlamps, and tanning salons Watch diet and weight Don’t smoke Drink in moderation, if at all Be informed
