Cancer cells come from normal cells because of mutations of DNA. Those mutations can occur spontaneously. The mutations may be also induced by other factors such as: nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, viruses, bacteria and fungi, parasites, heat, chemicals in the air, water and food, mechanical cell-level injury, free radicals, evolution and ageing of DNA, etc. All such factors can produce mutations that may start cancer.
Cancer cells are formed continuously in the organism. It is estimated that there are about 10,000 cancer cells at any given time in a healthy person. Why do some result in macroscopic-level cancers and some do not? First, not all damaged cells can multiply and many of them die quickly. Second, those which potentially divide and form cancer are effectively destroyed by the mechanisms available to the immune system.
Therefore, cancer develops if the immune system is not working properly or the amount of cells produced is too great for the immune system to eliminate.
What is the best summary of the passage?
Cancer is a group of more than one hundred separate diseases in the organism that cannot be cured
Cancer cause the death because of one hundred separate diseases in the organism
Cancer cells that are come from normal cells because of mutations of DNA can occur spontaneously
Cancer cells come from normal cells because of mutations of DNA that form continuously and develop in organism with low immune system
Nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, viruses causes the form of cancer cells in the organism
