Answer:

Cancer is formed when there are mutations in a number of genes.

Explanation:

Malignant tumors are gene diseases which do not mean that cancer is necessarily an inherited disease (only in 5-10% of cases the cancer is inherited) because the vast majority of other tumors are the result of somatic, ie secondary, mutations that lead to malignant transformation.

Only 2% of human diseases are monogenic (caused by a change in one gene). The remaining 98% of the disease is either polygenic (caused by a change in several genes at the same time) or epigenetic (caused by non-genetic or post-genetic disorders of cellular molecules).

Some people worry that the increasing number of cell phones will cause cancer because of the energy of the radio waves they emit

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

There is no clear evidence which indicates that cell phones will cause cancer because they emit very low intensity of radio waves but it can cause other diseases. Diseases such as brain tumor, male infertility and ear hearing function can be adversely affected by using cell phones due to the radio wave they emit. So we can say that cell phones will not the cause of cancer disease.
