There are few topics that provoke as much emotion and as many misconceptions as cancer. From the media to friends and family, nearly everyone has heard of this disease—and its many different forms. But not all of the information people read or hear about is accurate. Here are five facts about cancers you might not know, and five myths about them too.

Five facts about cancers you may not know

• Cancers are a group of diseases caused by abnormal cells. Most cancers are caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells. There are many different types of cancer, and they may occur in different areas of the body.
• There are more than a hundred different types of cancer, but only a few accounts for the majority of all cases. Lung, colorectal, pancreatic, prostate, and breast cancers are among the most common.
• Every person is at a different risk of developing cancer. Factors like age and genetics can influence a person’s risk of developing a certain type of cancer.
• When someone already has cancer, they often think about the disease’s symptoms. But many cancers have no symptoms until they are very advanced. Because of this, it’s crucial to know the facts about cancer so that people can protect themselves from the disease.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer.

Skin cancers are the most common form of cancer. They are also among the most curable, as many can be removed completely with surgery or radiation.

There are many different types of skin cancer, and they are more likely to occur on parts of the body with more skin surface area. The sun is the main cause of these cancers, so it’s important to use sunscreen and avoid excessive sun exposure. There are other risk factors, like certain skin types and genetics.

Breast cancer is the most deadly form of cancer in women.

Breast cancer is the most deadly form of cancer in women. Prostate cancer is the second most deadly form of cancer in men.

In both cases, however, the chance of dying from these non-skin cancers is far greater than the chance of being killed by an actual terrorist attack. In fact, breast cancer is actually the second most common cause of death among young women, after accidents.

What makes breast cancer particularly deadly is the fact that it’s a disease that mostly affects women. Most men don’t even know this, as breast cancer isn’t discussed as frequently as it should be.

Prostate cancer is the most frequent type of male breast cancer found.

Prostate cancer is the most frequent type of male cancer found. Prostate cancer is also the most common cancer among men overall.

Like breast cancer but unlike other types of cancer, prostate cancer often starts in the prostate gland, which is inside the body. This type of cancer is also among the most difficult to treat, often being diagnosed at a late stage and having a poor prognosis.

Lung cancer only accounts for 5% of all lung cancers but causes 50% of deaths due to this disease.

Lung cancer only accounts for 5% of all lung cancers but causes 50% of deaths due to this disease. Most lung cancers are less severe and have a better prognosis.

Lung cancer can be divided into two main categories: non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. About 95% of lung cancers are non-small cell, which makes this disease the more common of the two.

The good news about lung cancer is that the vast majority of people with the disease will be able to lead a long and healthy life.
