Cancer mutations can be caused by various factors, including:
Environmental factors: Exposure to carcinogens such as tobacco smoke, radiation, and certain chemicals can cause DNA damage leading to mutations. Lifestyle factors: Diet, physical activity, and alcohol consumption can influence cancer risk by affecting genetic stability. Inherited genetic predispositions: Some individuals inherit mutations in cancer-related genes, increasing their risk of developing cancer. Random errors: During DNA replication, spontaneous errors can occur, resulting in mutations.
