      abstract = {Cancer is a collection of diseases that can affect  basically every organ of our body, all of which have in  common uncontrolled cellular growth. The cells forming our  body have the potential to grow in the context of wound  healing or for the constant replacement of cells in our  blood, skin or intestine. Behind every newly diagnosed  malignant tumor in adulthood there is an individual history  of probably 20 or more years of tumorigenesis. Therefore,  malignant tumor formation often takes time making cancer in  most cases to an aging-related disease that we seem not to  be able to evade. However, tumorigenesis is dependent on  multiple environmental influences, many of which we have  under control by lifestyle decisions, such as retaining  from smoking, selecting healthy food and being physically  active. Thus, cancer preventive interventions are the most  effective way to fight against cancer. This textbook wants  not only to describe basic mechanisms leading to cancer but  also to provide the readers with a more holistic view  including cancer surveaillance mechanisms of the immune  system. We will place these insights in the context of the  personal consequences of everyone's lifestyle decisions.},
