The cure for cancer is still
some way off but it is something that science expects to happen possibly within
the next few decades; medical research continues to advance in it's war with
this disease that plagues humanity. Although there are other more awful
diseases, this one holds the crown at the moment because of how often it is
diagnosed. The three most common cancers in men are lung cancer, and colon
cancer while the women are affected by breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon
cancer.
It causes more deaths per population than any other illness and the older you
get the more prone you are to contracting the disease; Statistics show that the
number of people cancer kills globally each year is about 13 in every one
hundred.
The reasons cancer is triggered in the body are only theories as it can be
caused by many things.
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. These normal
cells grow out of control and even intrude in other surrounding tissues.
It is now believed by many that the food we eat could be responsible for many
cases. Even if this is not the case, what we eat does have an effect on our
overall and long term health. Some of the foodstuffs that could be causing these
problems are salt, saturated fats and dairy products.
Cancer can affect any part of the body from the bones, blood, skin or organs.
The problem is that it can also be insidious and a person may have it for some
time before it is diagnosed. Cures for many types have advanced in recent years
and are more likely to be successful if the cancer is found in its early stages.
Cancer is not the certain death sentence it once was and although many of its
various forms are incurable at this time, medical science continues to improve.
