YES. The chances are very very bright to get CANCER if you smoke when there is tumor. See how it works -
To add on to the worries of smokers developing cancer in the lung, pharynx, larynx, esophagus and other respiratory areas, there is the possibility of having alterations in their DNA as well. Studies have shown that when you smoke tobacco, you are at risk of getting tumors on your colon and MSI. MSI, or microsatellite instability, is when your genes are damaged; it also blocks the cells from being able to repair the DNA that were damaged, which can lead to cancer growths to proceed without interruption.
With research studies conducted, it is known that continuous smoking habits can cause inheritance of flawed genes that can later promote tumor growths. Most of the studies support the idea of tobacco being strongly linked with cancers that involve MSI. A projection was given that 21% of MSI colon tumors are caused by smoking cigarettes.
Recent studies have also shown that other lifestyle choices can too have an impact on the development of MSI. Smokers who consume fried foods and red meats are at even higher risk of developing it and colon cancer (increased 3-fold). Those who smoked tobacco and consumed red meat cooked very well-done were increased 2-fold.-
