Cancer has become a biggest epidemic with 2100 Indians losing their lives to this life threatening disease daily. While the government has put a lot of effort into building cancer care centers & a lot of private commercial hospitals have come up to treat cancer, the success rate is very low & a cause of concern. Overall, the 5 year survival rate of  cancer is less than 50%, a big reason to worry. Still we see a lot of misinformation as to the cause of cancer & we have seen a lot of genetic companies propagating that cancer is a genetic disease. I am afraid, this is far away from the truth. Cancer is a metabolic disease & is caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. There are multiple causes of mitochondria dysfunction(damaged oxidative phosphorylation) which includes chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, carcinogenic toxins, certain viruses & more. In simple words, cancer is dysregulated cell growth. Mitochondria regulates & controls cell cycle & when mitochondria becomes dysfunctional, it leads to unregulated growth of cancer cells( even normal cells can become cancerous). We all know mitochondria produces ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation using oxygen. In case of damaged oxidative phosphorylation, cancer cells use ancient fermentation pathways by fermenting two major fuels- glucose & glutamine.  As a result of this fermentation, waste products such as lactic acid & succinic acid are produced which causes acidification of the microenvironment which further damages oxidative phosphorylation. This has a spillover effect which leads to cancer cell growth & proliferation which later spreads across the body. It is this cancer cell/tumor growth that PET scan usually shows which forms basis for radiation & chemotherapy However, this does not stop there. When there is mitochondria dysfunction, mitochondria ceases to produce ATP, rather it produces ROS which damages protein, lipids, RNA & DNA. This is what most healthcare practitioners refer to as genetic mutation( such as P53 mutation). It is not out of place to mention that this is the downstream effect of underlying cause- mitochondrial dysfunction, not the cause itself.
