Best Oncology And Oncosurgery Hospitals in Penang

What causes cancer?

Changes (mutations) in the DNA of cells are the cause of cancer. Each gene in a cell has a collection of instructions that teach the cell what functions to execute as well as how to grow and divide. Errors in the instructions can cause a cell to cease functioning normally and even lead it to become cancerous.

 

There are several ways to lower your cancer risk

• Quit smoking. Quit smoking if you're a smoker. Don't start smoking if you don't already.
• Maintain a balanced diet. Choose fruit and vegetable-rich diet.
• Maintain a healthy body mass index (BMI). Being overweight or obese might raise your cancer risk.
• Inquire about immunizations with your doctor. You're more likely to get cancer if you're infected with certain viruses. Hepatitis B, which raises the risk of liver cancer, and human papillomavirus (HPV), which increases the risk of cervical cancer and other malignancies, may be prevented through immunizations.
• Excessive sun exposure should be avoided. The sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation might raise your risk of skin cancer.

 

How is the climate in Penang?

The warmest months are June through August, with temperatures ranging from 29°C to 35°C during the day and 26°C to 29°C at night.
