AgeAdvanced age is a risk factor for many cancers. The median age of cancer diagnosis is 66 
years.Cancer-Causing SubstancesCancer is caused by changes to certain genes that alter the 
way our cells function. Some of them are the result of environmental exposures that damage 
DNA. These exposures may include substances, such as the chemicals in tobacco smoke, or 
radiation, such as ultraviolet rays from the sun and other carcinogens.Infectious AgentsCertain 
infectious agents, including oncoviruses, bacteria, and parasites, can 
cause.ImmunosuppressionThe body's immune response plays a role in defending the body 
against cancer, a concept known mainly because certain cancers occur at a greatly increased 
prevalence among people with immunosuppression.
