An induced tumor is a tumor whose occurrence is caused by exposure to various environmental factors.
The term "induced tumor" comes from the Latin word inducere, which means "to induce." This means that the development of such a tumor is induced, or induced, by certain agents.
Agents that can induce tumors include:
-
Chemical carcinogens are substances that have the ability to cause cancer. These include some industrial chemicals, pesticides, components of tobacco smoke, etc.
-
Ionizing radiation - X-ray, radioactive and ultraviolet radiation in high doses.
-
Biological carcinogens - some viruses, bacteria and parasites.
-
Mechanical factors - prolonged exposure to tissue irritants.
Induced tumors differ from spontaneous tumors, which arise as a result of disturbances in the genetic apparatus of cells without external influences.
Understanding the mechanisms of formation of induced tumors is important for the development of cancer prevention measures associated with environmental factors and lifestyle.
An induced tumor is a type of tumor that is caused by a variety of factors, including chemicals, radiation, and certain diseases. This form of tumor can be caused by both external and internal influences, and often develops in tissues that are already predisposed to cancer. In this article, we will look at the main causes and symptoms associated with tumor-induced infection and other treatments for this type of tumor.
Causes of infection-induced tumors One of the causes of infection-induced tumors is infection of body tissues by a virus or bacteria. This can lead to the formation of a new colony of cells, leading to the development of a tumor. In addition, viruses can change the DNA of a cell and trigger the process of its mutation, which can lead to further transformation into a malignant tumor.
Symptoms of an Induced Tumor A tumor caused by an infection may have different symptoms depending on the location, size and stage of development. Some of the most common
