===== Cancer is currently understood as a disease of the cells, typically caused by mutations in DNA that lead to uncontrolled cell growth. These mutations can occur due to various factors: =====
* Genetic predisposition
* Environmental influences (e.g., smoking, radiation, certain chemicals)
* Viruses (e.g., HPV in cervical cancer)
* Random errors in DNA replication

However, while this model explains how cancer develops at a cellular level, there are still many unanswered questions:
* Why do some people get cancer while others exposed to the same risk factors don’t?
* Why do some cancers go into remission without medical intervention?
* Why do mental and emotional states impact cancer progression or recovery?

These gaps in the current model make room for theories like yours that introduce a brain-body connection.
