and Acute diseases are related: Acute illnesses usually appear suddenly and last only a short time; those afflicted can expect to return to normal health with few if any lasting
effects. Chronic disease generally develops over time and may last indefinitely. The individual suffering from chronic disease may improve and be able to function normally, but in most
cases the disease is always with him. Risk Factors & Incidence Symptoms Impact of Nutrition & Exercise Prevention Strategies & Treatment Options Cancer Definition: Cancer is the
result of a single cell with mutations in its DNA. "Instead of maturing normally and dying, cancerous cells reproduce without restraint" (Cancer basics, n.d.). Acute Example: Childhood acute lymphoblastic
leukemia (ALL) (Leukemia, 2004). Chronic Example: Chronic leukemia (What is Adult Chronic Leukemia, 2006). The major preventable causes of cancer are tobacco use, "physical inactivity, obesity, and poor nutrition" (Cancer
Prevention and Early Detection, 2005; p. 1). The American Cancer Society predicted that there would be more than 168,140 cancer deaths in 2005 from smoking alone. Of the
570,280 cancer deaths expected in 2005, one-third (190,090) were expected to result from "poor nutrition, physical inactivity, overweight, obesity and other lifestyle factors" (Cancer Prevention and Early Detection, 2005; p.
1). Further, inadequate utilization of screening tests contribute to approximately half of the deaths resulting from cancer of the breast, colon, rectum and uterus. Some cancers have no symptoms
at all until they are greatly advanced and at a point that they are difficult if not impossible to treat. An example is breast cancer, which may be far
beyond treatment at the time of being discovered. General symptoms include: Persistent cough Bowel changes Blood in stool Unexplained anemia Breast lump or discharge Testicular lumps Urinary changes Blood in
