Incidence of Malignant Neoplasms in Young and Old People

Abstract

Malignant tumors are a group of diseases characterized by the free reproduction of cells, their spread in the body, the formation of initial and metastatic tumor sources. Diagnosis, cure and prevention of these pathologies are fond of oncologists.With age, the risk of many diseases increases, and cancer is no exception. In order to understand this, it is enough to look at the graph that American scientists have compiled. It shows how it changes morbidity and mortality from cancer in different age groups. These data were obtained at the end of the last century, but they are relevant to this day. More important conditions for oncological risk in children include ionizing radiation, competent exposure of parents to carcinogenic elements, living pregnant women and dirty with industrial emissions and radioactive elements.
