What are the different types of cancer? Believe it or not, we are at risk to all types of cancer except for ovarian cancer for males and prostate cancer for females.
Fortunately, with the advancement in medical research, and the people’s growing initiative to learn more about the disease, the number of affected patients and deaths due to cancer is reducing. That’s good news right? Let me give you an example. Recently I have read and even watch it on TV that cervical cancer is caused by a virus and now there is actually a vaccine to help prevent it.
Prevention and early detection are our best weapons to prevent any type of cancer. Although it’s been said that some types are easier to deal with than others, you never know right. You can also check your family history for cancer, and if it’s present then you are at a high risk.
By becoming aware about the different types of cancer, we are arming ourselves with knowledge and giving ourselves a fighting chance to prevent it. My advice for all: Live a healthy lifestyle and regular physical check up. Don’t wait until you feel something unusual. Be proactive!
